Summary
No one ever talks about what happens after.
No one told Will that the monsters would never really leave him. No one told Will how being taken and possessed would sit in his stomach like a coiled-up vine. No one told Will how he'd never feel like himself again.
No one told Will what to do, now that the worst is over and he doesn't feel any better. No one told Will how to handle the after, the in-between of not dying and still feeling dead.
No one told Will how to feel alive, so he figures it out for himself.
(Or; A study of how Will handles— or doesn't handle— the aftermath of what happens to him.)

Summary
It's always the rain. In his nightmares, there are no monsters or alternate dimensions, just the wet sound of tires on asphalt and a bicycle abandoned on the shoulder of Highway 22.
Seven years have passed since Will Byers disappeared into thin air. Seven years in which Mike Wheeler has tried to convince himself that he's a functional adult, that he's moved on, that the sleeping pills are just for university stress.
But the body doesn't forget what the mind tries to erase. And when a call in the middle of the night brings a ghost back home, Mike will discover that getting back what you lost doesn't mean it stops hurting.
