Summary
Separation: a concept first coined by anthropologist Arnold Van Gennep, and later expanded upon by ethnographer Victor Turner, which consists of the first phase of a Rite of Passage or "Transition". It comprises symbolic behavior signifying the detachment of the individual or group either from an earlier fixed point in the social structure, from a set of cultural conditions (a "state"), or from both.
Or.

Summary
"Real life didn’t have dice rolls, spells and divine powers. Here, Mike didn’t have a sacred sword or a shield, he couldn’t heal with a touch of his hand. Mike only had his weak hands and his weak arms, and his weak legs to keep him alive."
After the fall of 1984, nothing will ever be the same.

Summary
“That’s the problem, we don’t!” Mike shouts, throwing his hands up, “We don’t win, Lucas!”
For over two years, they’ve been dealing with the Upside Down.
They thought they’d killed the demogorgon and won, but they hadn’t. Turns out there was something much bigger and much worse than the demogorgon and they’d been attacked and chased and hunted. But hey, at least El wasn't dead. She had finally closed the gate that had let the demogorgon into Hawkins, and the Mind Flayer had come out of Will. Logically, they should all be safe now, right? That November had been the end of it - they could go back to their normal lives and get to be stupid teenagers that only worried about their girlfriends and how much change they had in their pockets for ice cream and movies. Right?
Wrong. Again.
The monster had been locked out here with them. They had never won anything before. Why would they win now?"The Mind Flayer bides its time and the Party has to come to terms with the idea that victory has an aftermath.

Summary
COMMUNITAS: the feeling of camaraderie among a group experiencing the same liminal experience or rite. “A moment in and out of time”, which reveals, however fleetingly, some recognition of a generalized social bond that has ceased to be and has simultaneously yet to be fragmented into a multiplicity of structural ties.
*Old enemies return and bonds once thought unbreakable start to crumble. Haunting secrets and memories long forgotten come to light, forcing the Party to face everything they have been desperately trying to hide.
