Summary
His voice grows soft, almost longing, as he leans in closer. His breath ghosts over Will's face, and it smells like the Upside Down does—dead, empty. "You, William… when you entered my mind, that is when I knew I had to have you again. That is when I knew I got it right that first night, when Eleven reopened the portal. I heard you calling for me, even across dimensions—"
"I—I wasn't," Will cuts in, a tremor to his voice. "I never wanted any of this. You're insane!"
"—sometimes we aren't conscious of what we ask for," Henry smiles then, and his hand moves, thumb shifting to press against Will's mouth. He tightens his lips in response, thinking about that vine down his throat, frozen solid. "How do you think I knew which children to pluck from their homes, which ones to save? There is a connection between all of us that goes beyond what Brenner could do out of every number. When that gate opened, I already knew what I had to do. I had planned it for years. I dreamed of someone like you, and you, in turn, became mine—"
"Stop," Will begs.
