    Summary

    Hawkins moves on like nothing happened.

    They all do.

    The earthquake becomes background noise, Vecna becomes a word no one says out loud anymore, and everyone agrees, quietly, collectively, that survival means pretending.

    Eddie Munson survives too. That’s what everyone sees. The jokes are back. The noise is back. The performance is perfect.

    But Steve Harrington starts noticing the cracks.

    And Eddie never learned how to let anyone see the parts underneath.
