Summary
But right now, as Dustin stands alone in the bathroom- eyes red, body lingering with black and blue- he's just so tired. He's so, so tired.
Tired of being angry. Tired of missing Eddie. Tired of pushing people away and being unhappy. Tired of being terrified of what's coming next, who he's going to lose next. Tired of seeing the people he loves more than anybody in the world and knowing that they probably wouldn't miss him if he died. Because Dustin made it that way. Because at this point, they've probably realized that Dustin's half the reason everyone is still stuck in this shit in the first place.
So, if Dustin downed the sleeping pills his mother has sitting on the bathroom counter, would anybody even notice if he did?
OR
Dustin Henderson is tired. He just wants it to stop. He doesn't realize his mistake until it might be too late.
So he calls Steve. -

Summary
Dustin was only there in fragments. Pieces of himself that he played up in an attempt to shove aside his real feelings. They called those fragments his masks, and they never knew which mask he would hide behind on any given day.
OR
Dustin refuses to talk about how utterly broken he feels, and hides behind six different masks. The Party is worried about him and wishes he would just talk to them.

Summary
He wants to rip a gash down his face and let the whole world flinch away from it. A lightning strike of energy jerks through his body, and his hand twitches to the shiny porcelain counter, to the thin blade he pried out of his mom’s pink gillette razor.

Dustin self-harms for the first time after Eddie died :((
