Summary
Following a day of moderate exhaustion, tending to his usual patients at the hospital, Twilight plunges into yet another simulated reality. Despite its captivating charm, Operation Strix is, at its core, a mission like any other - one that necessitates an environment free from external disturbances. Such disturbances encompass unanticipated visits from Nightfall to the Forgers’ abode, ostensibly to keep tabs on Strix’s advancement.

Summary
"'Your crush, who was it?' Mike asks again, unwavering and unforgiving. It’s blinding, suddenly being the sole focus of Mike’s attention, partly because Will has grown unused to it, but mostly because this question feels heavy. Pointed. Mike isn't making conversation to kill time; he’s on a mission.
Still, Will tries to dodge. 'Is this really the right time? The world is literally ending, in case you hadn’t noticed.' He tries to inject as much sarcasm and irritation into his words as possible, but he knows he falls flat. He can hear how breathless he suddenly got, the way he’s gasping between words. He’s half afraid Mike can hear his heart slamming uncomfortably against his ribs.
Mike doesn’t miss a beat, doesn’t even look abashed for a second, and keeps pressing on him with a shrug: 'Well, we’ve got nothing to do until Dustin radios, and who knows how long it’s gonna take, so… who was it?'"While awaiting to go fight their last battle in the Upside Down, Mike finally asks Will some questions.

Summary
Mike has finally made it as an author. But writing about your own past can get complicated, especially when fans start to draw conclusions that point Mike in the direction of the person he's been writing about all along.
And living life is hard. Especially when you're doing it all on your own. But grief and love are a lot more similar than you might realise. They both tend to wake us up from the monotony of our lives.
OR: Mike has a horrible time, which somewhere along the way turns into a wonderful time.

Summary
Today was Friday, which means the kids were all hopped up on weekend excitement. They bounce off the walls and eat all the chips and bring their friends over to do whatever the hell kids do these days. They order pizza and play music too loud and ruin Mike’s life.
It’s not that he hates the kids; he doesn’t. He wouldn’t. He just hates what they do to him. More to come on this later.

Summary
"I'm so hungry I could eat Will Byers." Jane bursts into a fit of giggles. Mike's heart drops.
"What?" His mouth feels dry. His hands are sweating. He can feel a flush creeping up his neck.
Jane repeats her words between cackles and wheezes, "I said... I'm so hungry... I could eat... Will Byers!"
All of the kids are laughing now, some big inside joke that Mike is the butt of. He feels sick. He feels something he can't place.
"How do you know that name?" He asks, the words catching in his throat like bile.
