Mikes dreams - well, nightmares - were getting worse by the day. El, the kiss, the demogorgon, the disappearance... On the outside, he told himself she was gone, forced himself to believe he would never see her and attempted to convince himself that he had to move on. There would be other girls... Right? No. Nobody would be like Eleven. Not just because of her superpowers and backstory, but because of what she meant to him... How could he ever talk for anyone else? Inside, Mike knew she would be out there somewhere. He just needed to find where. Little by little, his dreams get worse, but they change. Could this be how he finds El?
