   Summary

   Will Byers has always been the one who waits.

   He waits to be rescued.
   He waits to be chosen.
   He waits to be seen.

   When Henry Creel offers him something different power, certainty, a place at the center instead of the edges Will finds himself standing in a room of blinding light with a choice he never thought he’d make.
   Because being invisible hurts.
   And this time, he’s tired of waiting.
