     JUNO AND MILO HAD BARELY MANAGED TO SHOUT A QUICK GOODBYE, NO EXPLANTIONS GIVEN TO CLAIRE CARLTON AS THEY RUSHED OUTSIDE JUNO'S APARTMENT. COMPLETELY IGNORING CLAIRE'S baffled look, especially when she noted the metal baseball bat her daughter carried with her. They had rushed outside, the cruel summer heat beating on their exposed skin, and coating them in sweat the moment they started to bike down the street.

    During the short trip, Milo tried his best to explain whatever the hell was happening, but truly, the boy had no clue either. He remembered the almost familiar feeling of the Mind Flayer crawling up his skin the day Dustin returned from his summer camp. He had blamed his imagination for those feelings that day. The Mind Flayer was dead. Right? He was no longer connected to the monster, he did not feel its presence like he did before. But then again, should he have survived the dead of the monster? Afterall they had been connected, and every other being connected to it had died without the connection being severed.

    "Do you even know how to get on the roof?" Juno asked out of breath, face red and sweaty as her brown hair clung to her face. She nervously fiddled with the bat in her hand as her eyes roamed the parking lot of Starcourt Mall.

    "No." Milo shook his head, quickly locking his bike against a fence next to Juno's. "But I can find them."

    "How—" Her words got cut off as Milo closed his eyes, his brows creasing together as he focused on the familiar pull of an invisible string connecting him to others.

    Juno watched in awe, even though she did not understand what was happening. Slowly Milo opened his eyes, and for a split second she could see his eyes flash an eerily blue light.

    "I know which way to go." Milo told her, only for his breath to hitch in his throat as Juno suddenly placed two fingers between his eyes, trying to smoothen out the frown that had remained there. "What are you doing?"

    Juno blushed, quickly retracting her hand, "I-I don't like it when you frown. Makes you look so serious." She stuttered out.

    Milo only smiled kindly at her, his face softening in a more relaxed expression. "Let's go." He pressed, latching onto Juno's wrist to pull the girl along with him towards a place she had not been before when visiting the mall.
