As everyone darted around Eddie's room in search of different cassette songs that would fit Nancy's personality, aka, her favorite song, they were growing both anxious and annoyed at the music selection that Eddie owned. Erica's footsteps came down the trailer quickly, leading into Eddie's room.

"Steve says you need to hurry!" Erica alerted the people in which were desperately searching the room, being left with nothing. 

"Yeah? No shit!" Charlie yelled, clearly annoyed as is.

"We're trying. We can't find anything." Lucas stated more calmly due to the fact, for one, it was his sister, and for two, he was more of a calmer person than Charlie was. 

"What is all this shit?" Robin called out anxiously, digging through small piles of cassettes.

"What are you even looking for?" Eddie shouted back, bringing over another handful of cassettes to the bed. It was obvious that everyone was getting both annoyed and anxious while digging through the songs, leading to the rise in voices and such.

"Madonna, Blondie, Bowie, Beatles? Music! We need music!" Robin yelled out, the cassettes fumbling out of her hands as she shook them around nervously and to enhance her point to Eddie. Angie sat next to Robin, trying her best to keep calm as she dug within different piles in search of a song that would fit Nancy. 

"This is music!" Eddie shouted back at Robin, holding a Black Sabbath cassette up to his head. Angie snatched the cassette from his hand, adding it to the 'no' pile that she made. She was meaning to make two piles-- one for yes and one for no, but it looked more like one when they were all piled in the 'no' area. 

But when Robin dug into the pile in which Angie made and pulled out a random handful of cassettes, Angie groaned in annoyance. She already knew that none of those songs would be Nancy's favorite, but she just guessed Robin wanted to double check and allowed her to do so.

The group stood amongst the main room of Max's trailer, waiting for Nancy's explanation as to what had happened. Charlie's hand tapped on her cassette player, realizing that, throughout the past few days, she hadn't been experiencing many things with Vecna. Usually, she'd get this random pit in her stomach in which she assumed related to the whole Vecna situation, but it was just gone. 

"He showed me things that haven't happened yet." Nancy explained slowly, her voice hoarse as she did so. Angie sat on the floor in front of where Eddie sat on the couch, giving Eddie access to mess around with the blonde's hair. 

"The most awful things. I saw a dark cloud spreading over Hawkins. Downtown on fire. Dead soldiers. And this giant creature with... a gaping mouth." Nancy explained, pausing between each and every one of her statements. 

"And this creature wasn't alone. There were so many monsters. An army. And they were coming into Hawkins. Into our neighborhoods. Our homes." Nancy continued explaining, her tone quivering as she did so. Charlie sat next to her brother on the couch, leaning her head onto his shoulder. After she saw what happened to his stomach and the wrap that surrounded it, she assured that she wouldn't be leaving him again. 

"And then.. he showed me my mom. And Holly. Mike. And they-- they were all.." Nancy continued, her voice wobbling as a tear fell down her cheek. Everyone knew what she was trying to say, and it caused them to shoot glances of pity toward the Wheeler's daughter. All but Charlie. She knew that pity was one of her least favorite things, so she always assured that she wouldn't use it on others.
