   Summary

   It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore, despite living under the same roof. Will is avoidant and spends most days in the basement, and Mike has never felt so alone.

   Then the power goes out, and Mike desperately wants to understand what went wrong, and to know what that damn painting means.

   or

   Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
