Summary
Nancy can't seem to stop watching Robin — the way she talks, the way she moves, the way she loves. There's just something so endlessly fascinating about her. And, more and more, something sad about her too. Nancy can't figure out why she cares so damn much about understanding this girl —or about seeing her happy— but Nancy has never been one to abandon a case when it's difficult.
Robin hates that quote about "no matter where you go, there you are." She knows she's not supposed to think this way. That you're supposed to love yourself and rah-rah-rah, and she does. So much of her life is beautiful, she knows that. But Hawkins, for all its eldritch horrors, has a way of making her feel likes she’s the one they think a monster. And if she's honest… something feels like it's about to break.

AKA: Robin deals with being gay in the 80s, and Nancy proves that she's a hero in more ways than just killing monsters.
