Summary
Max and Lucas are sat at the dining room table when Will arrives back at the apartment. They’re silent, as is the rest of the place, and Will realises the radio isn’t even on Standby, but unplugged at the wall, meaning they had been silent for a while.
He stands in the doorway, and they consider him with narrow eyes.
“So,” Max begins, “when were you planning on telling us that Mike fucking Wheeler is in town? Oh, I mean more specifically, when Mike fucking Wheeler started working at your job?”
Will swallows. “Uh.”
Lucas grins. “Oh, this is gonna be good.”
Max elbows him in the ribs.

Will Byers works as a secretary in Manhattan for a firm he knows nothing about. He’s not sure why. Mike Wheeler, who is supposed to be studying law at the University of Pennsylvania, has suddenly started working at said firm. He’s not sure why. Max and Lucas are less than pleased with this turn in events. He’s not sure why.
Will is going to throw himself off the Empire State Building if he doesn’t start finding out why.

Summary
“Dude,” Dustin says, sounding kind of horrified but also kind of delirious with elation. “Oh my God, you like him. You like Will. Will. As in, our Will. Our best friend Will.”
“I do not–” Mike tries, even though he’d kind of just admitted to accidentally kissing Will Byers, a little, so maybe that’s an entirely fruitless road to go down.
Listen. No one should ever let Mike make decisions right after he wakes up from a nap, okay? Especially not decisions where Will is concerned. This is so not his fault.

Summary
Psychomanteum, noun. A dimly-lit room containing a comfortable chair and a mirror angled so that it reflects only darkness, intended to communicate with spirits of the dead.
It is our privilege to welcome you back, one and all, for the Summer 2024 season at the London Athenaeum. As some of you will no doubt be aware, this past winter saw a spate of minor thefts, with one enterprising thief successfully removing a marble bust of the goddess Carpundia. We are pleased to report that the probate court proceedings are now complete, and all of the stolen artifacts have been returned to us. For safety reasons, we must now ask that all rosaries, japa mala, ojuzu, komboskini, misbaha and other similar prayer beads are left at the door and collected upon exit on account of one of our new acquisitions, a devil vitrified in a prism of glass, and the multiple recent incidents of attempted strangulation.
We are proud to present a slate of all new exhibitions and events, including the crown jewel of this season: an exhibition on the 170 year history of the Athenaeum itself by acting head curator Edwin Payne. This is the distillation of an extraordinary life’s work, and one not to be missed.
