After Vecna had been defeated for good, life changed for the Party. The Byers moved back to Hawkins, Hopper (who is alive??) reclaimed the title as chief of police, and Eddie graduated after his name was cleared. Things were finally back to normal, or what they all could consider normal. Yet, some were dealing with the aftermath better than others. TW: Alcoholism, addiction, homophobia, strong language in which steve is an alcoholic struggling to come to terms with his trauma (while also having a sexuality crisis). i'm sorry for putting our boy through this.
