    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.
