   Summary

   Hawkins looks like an oversaturated daydream, and everyone is acting different. Will thinks he's just ungrateful now that he has peace and quiet after Vecna's death.

   But when his memories start to fade and strange things keep happening, Will starts to question the world he exists in.

   And why, after everything, his best friend Mike keeps lying to him.
