1987. Will was still in the upside down. It's been four years and everyone just gave up on looking for him. Except for Mike. He knew Will was still out there somewhere, he just had to keep looking. Will couldn't leave him, he wouldn't. right..?

----

In 1983 Will Byers just vanished. No one knew where he went. Some assumed his brother killed him, others just thought he ran away. That wasn't the case. 

The Vale of Shadows, aka the Upside Down. Will was fighting monsters at the age of 12. Alone in a cold world that somehow looked like Hawkins, but disgusting, cold and dirty.

It was the start of the early 90's, when everything was over, when death and destruction took its toll, leaving scars and deep fissures in its wake. But, at least, it brought a sense of renewal, of an escape from all the horrors they went through and, for the first time in so long, they could finally start to move on. That was, if they ever could. El was gone, both Mike and Will spent years apart healing, lives separate and away from Hawkins and each other without any plans for reconnection. Until, they met again in college. By chance, a mere coincidence. And maybe there they could have another chance, too.
