Summary
Matthew does not exist. He is entirely fictional, nothing more than a story told by Jonathan, who doesn't even want to be here in the first place.
Matthew clearly does exist – how could he be here otherwise? At the very least he must be partly real, built on a solid foundation with another name but the same face and the same irresistible need to be in this bed at this moment.
(Jonathan must also exist, because who else would have any reason to worry about it?)

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”

Summary
Buck is restless. He’s put on a documentary about butterfly migrations, but he hasn’t taken in a single second of it. His mind is elsewhere. Across town, in some stupid hotel bar. Or maybe, by now, up in the room. He doesn’t exactly know the timeline for it. It’s the first time they’ve done this.

Summary
Captain Buckley’s face creases, his expression disfavourable. “I’m, uh, not really into the whole Sir thing,” he tells Eddie, scratching along the slope of his grey-stubbled chin. “Still getting used to being called Cap, if I’m being honest. Most people here just call me Buck.”
“Buck?” Eddie repeats the name with the intonation of a question.
“There were three other Evans in my class at the Academy,” Captain Buckley explains, shrugging casually with the huge mountain range of his wide, wide shoulders. “Even after all these years, it’s managed to stick.”
OR: Eddie's probationary firefighter year at the 118, under the watchful eye and expert tutelage of Fire Captain Evan Buckley.
