    Summary

    Jonathan makes it all of five steps before it all goes wrong.

    Behind him, Will says, “Mike?”

    Mike does not reply. Jonathan glances over his shoulder, mid-step, and pulls up short in confusion at what he sees. Mike is still by the van where the darkness is deepest, his white t-shirt dappled with darker shadows, standing stock-still. Unnervingly still. Stiller than Jonathan has ever seen him. No bouncing leg, no tapping finger, no nothing; he’s just standing there, staring down at his blood-covered hands in a faraway sort of fascination.

    His wet blood-covered hands.

    (or, jonathan's always known mike is willing to do a lot for his little brother. he just never understood exactly how much.)

    Summary

    Calling the monster a demogorgon did not make it any easier to fight, only to identify it. Having a name for the symptoms only serves to label the beast. It does nothing to stop you from reliving it. Is the passage of time a curse or a cure? You don’t know anymore, and you’ve twisted yourself into knots trying to sort it out.

    or Jonathan Byers muses about the passage of time.

    Summary

    Jonathan was never the one to express his feelings. He instead took it out on his arms and legs. Eventually Steve starts noticing the way he hates people touching his arms, the bandages constantly wrapped around his fore-arms and the long sleeved clothing he wears.
