   Summary

   It's been a week since Steve Harrington was attacked by demo-bats in the upside down, but the pain isn't over. He has nightmares every single night and can't sleep without waking up panicking and dripping with sweat. His wounds are infected and causing him almost unbearable pain, but he refuses to ask anyone for help. Steve doesn't show up to work one day and his coworker and best friend Robin Buckley is worried. She calls the only other adult that she knows is available, Eddie Munson, to check on him.

   Title is from the song Personal Lies by Djo
