Summary
Typically, when one hits the tender age of ten their soulmate mark will appear.
Not everyone is blessed with the gift of another half, it’s not uncommon but some do go their entire lives without attaining a mark. For those lucky enough to possess one the ceremony for it was old yet grand— with the rise of the sun on their tenth birthday an image much like a tattoo would begin weaving itself onto a random patch of skin. By the time the sun sets a fully flushed out piece of artwork representing one’s self and their matching pair could be seen somewhere on their body.
Each mark was different in its art style and what was chosen to represent its bearers. Thus making the celebration a whole spectacle intent on finding the matching image.
Now, Kyojuro was a special case.
He never received the traditional tenth birthday feast as he was born already possessing the beginnings of his soulmate mark.

Summary
Slowly, the town of Hawkins is able to piece itself back together.
Roads are opening back up, houses with minor damage are cleared for families to return to, and there hasn’t been a single sighting of an otherworldly creature in days.
The school still remains closed to house the many families still waiting for the all-clear to go back home, but the kids view that as a positive thing. After all, no one wants to do homework while still recovering.
As the town moves on from the incident, it leaves behind the few people who have been scarred and wounded. His friends who can’t even discuss what went down are left in the dust.
But at least they have their families to comfort them.
It’s only Steve who is left to patch up his own wounds like usual.

Life is a bitch that kicks you when you're down and it seemed like Death was too.
