Summary
Dustin had always laughed at the dark. Shadows hiding under his bed, the creak of floorboards at night—he treated it like a game. But now, the darkness answered back. Whispers curled around his ears in the quietest moments, voices too soft to name, too sharp to ignore. He tried to convince himself it was just his imagination, that the Upside Down had finally released him. But the cries—the children calling, calling for help—wouldn’t stop. No one else heard them. No one else believed him. And maybe, he thought with a hollow sort of dread, that was the worst part.

Dustin can't handle life after Eddie's death. One of the people he looked up too died in his arms for fucks sake. He had been distancing himself from everyone and they had all assumed he was okay because he's always stuck being the happy friend. Slap on some more trauma and you have a suicidal Dustin Henderson.
