   Summary

   They did it. They won.
   The Mind Flayer and Vecna were dead, the Upside Down sucked into the void and with it El.
   Mike tried to move on and be happy, happy to be home with his sister and his mother and father, happy to be alive when El couldn't be. But the Party was pulling away further and further every day, the good society of Hawkins wanted him to conform, and Will... He couldn't bring himself to leave his basement anymore, every time he went outside it was like a thousand eyes locked on in judgement and his house didn't feel like his own. Not really.
   but he couldn't complain. this was a hard earned happily ever after, even if it didn't look like what he thought it would.
   At the very least, it was over.
