"What was Will saying? Like home... Like home... but dark?" Mike asked.
"And empty." Lucas carried on. Alex was still passed out.
"[sighs] Empty and cold. Wait, did he say cold?" Dustin asked.
"I don't know. The stupid radio kept going in and out." Lucas answered.
"[sighs] It's like riddles in the dark." Dustin carries on,
"Like home. Like his house?" Mike asked.
"Or maybe like Hawkins." Lucas continued.
"Upside down.." El said waking up beside me.
"What'd she say?" Lucas asked
"Upside down." I answered sitting up.
"What?" Lucas asked.
"Upside down. When El showed us where Will was, she flipped the board over, remember? [she demonstrates] Upside down. Dark. Empty." I explain.
"Do you understand what she's talking about?" Lucas asked Dustin.
"No." Dustin answered.
"Guys, come on, think about it. When El took us to find Will, she took us to his house, right?" I asked.
"Yeah. And he wasn't there." Lucas answered.
"But what if he was there? What if we just couldn't see him? What if he was on the other side? What if this is Hawkins and... [she flips the board upside down] this is where Will is? The Upside Down." I carry on explaining.
"Like the Vale of Shadows." Dustin carried on. Dustin gets out a dungeons and dragons book.
"'The Vale of Shadows, is a dimension that is a dark reflection or echo of our world. It is a place of decay and death.'" Dustin explained.
"'A plane out of phase. A place of monsters. It is right next to you, and you don't even see it.'" I helped out looking over his shoulder trying to help for once.
"An alternate dimension. But... how... how do we get there?" Mike asked.
"You cast Shadow Walk." Dustin answered.
"In real life, dummy." Lucas carried on. I looked at El with panic in my eyes.
"We can't shadow walk, but... maybe they can." Dustin says he motions to El and Alex.
"Do you know how we get there? To the Upside Down?" Mike asked. El shakes her head.
"No I don't I wish I did." I lied. I was a grate at lying since I lied to my dad.
"[sighing] Oh, my God!" Lucas said clearly upset. The two boys left and me and Mike went to our separate rooms.
"Ah! Dad, you're... you're choking me." I heard from Mike's room.
"Ah... there. It's supposed to be a little tight. Looks good." Ted answered. There was a zipper closing – in Nancy's room we see Karen Alex and Nancy.
"Here we go. [sighs] You two look nice, sweetie. Anything else? You can borrow my black heels if you want. The ones you wore to Cathy's birthday." Karen said to Nancy.
"I'm fine. Thanks." Nancy answered.
"If she won't can I please mom." I answered she nodded.
""Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." It's times like these that our faith is challenged. How, if He is truly benevolent... could God take from us someone so young, so innocent. It would be easy to turn away from God... but we must remember that nothing, not even tragedy, can separate us from His love. We are here today to find comfort in the truth of scripture and to surround Will and his family... [continues indistinctly]" Pastor Charles went on.
