CHARLIE GOT TOLD ABOUT WILL'S BODY being found the next morning while she was eating breakfast, Hopper having sat her down after coming back from the Byers’. She honestly didn’t know how to react when she heard the news. The fact that Will Byers was dead didn’t sit right with her, not that it would sit right with anyone, but it just didn’t seem correct in Charlie’s mind. How did Will get from the woods on the west side of Hawkins to Sattler Quarry on the north-east side without his bike? There was just something not at all right about it.

“Hey, kid,” Hopper said after the girl had stayed silent, looking down at her cereal, not feeling hungry anymore. The man moved his hand over, placing it on his niece’s with a caring expression. “I’m sorry, all right? I tried my best.”

“Yeah… I know you did,” Charlie nodded, swallowing back the horrible unfairness of the situation. “Have you seen… Have you seen Jonathan?”

“Not in person, no,” Hopper said, bringing his hand back and clearing his throat. “He’s been in his room since he found out. Won’t even talk to Joyce.” He watched his niece’s face fall into a conflict and pieced together something he had been questioning. “Charlie?”

“Yeah, Hops?” Charlie asked, looking up to meet his gaze.

“I don’t know what happened between you and that boy, and I’m not gonna ask if you don’t want me to,” the man started, getting up from his seat at the dining table, grabbing his coat from the hooks by the door. “But he’s going through hell right now… It’s your choice, but I’m taking him and Joyce down to the morgue to identify the body… They’re gonna need some support.”
