    Summary


    June 1986
    Steve is lonely.

    He’s always been lonely, honestly. An empty house, absent parents, friends that didn’t really know him. Frankly, he probably doesn’t really know himself, either. It used to be easier to ignore—between sports and parties and searching for the next girl to hang around with.

    Then Nancy Wheeler told him he was bullshit. In the wreckage of the storm, he realized she probably hadn’t been that off base to call his life bullshit.

    [Life in Hawkins, Indiana is boring, ordinary, no supernatural entities. Steve still changes.

    Luckily, he still makes some new friends, too. Certain people are simply meant to be in the same story.]

    Summary

    Vecna dies. So does Eddie. The world doesn't split open. In the aftermath, Steve goes home to an empty house.

    Well. Almost empty.

    Steve sighs, hanging his head. One more thing. Then he can go to bed.

    The dirty towel can wait until later. He tosses it towards the bathtub without looking and turns to the sink, grabbing his toothbrush and toothpaste. When he looks in the mirror, Eddie’s staring back at him.
