   Summary

   The Tower has fallen

   After the world ends and the dust settles, Steve Harrington wakes up missing pieces — of memory, of purpose, of himself.
   Jonathan Byers stays, caught between truth and tenderness, guilt and something that feels inevitable

   As The Moon gives way to The Stars, buried truths surface about love, fear, and the gravity they’ve been orbiting all along.
