EVERYONE FINALLY RELAXED AFTER A FEW MINUTES. But they were still nervous and stressed about the tension in the room. Robin stayed by Steve's side checking on him while he caught his breath. Max and Dustin just watched Juliana calm Eddie down by hugging him. Dustin knew at that moment that Juliana was perfect for Eddie and Eddie was perfect for Juliana.

Eddie stopped crying and pulled away from the young woman, sliding down the wall and slumping to the floor. He wiped his tears away as Juliana crouched down and sat next to him.

"Eddie... we just want to talk." Juliana softly said to him, rubbing his back as she felt him tremble.

Dustin crouched down in front of him as well, he attempted to gently touch Eddie's hand but he flinched and held Juliana's hand instead.

"Okay..." She held out her other arm to the rest, signalling to them to keep their distance.

Robin held Juliana's shoulder to help her slowly crouch down to their level, trying not to scare Eddie. "We want to help."

Eddie sniffled and shook his head, looking at the others. "You won't believe me."

"I highly doubt that." Juliana replied, showing him that he didn't have to be scared to tell her what he saw.

"Try us." Max added.

"Her body... just like, lifted up and uh..." Eddie started to explain, his voice all shaky and out of breath. It was traumatizing for him and he had difficulty explaining what happened.

"And she just, like, hung there. In the air, and her bones... Uh, she..." Eddie stopped as he started to whimper, unable to find the right words as the flashbacks came back.

Juliana's heart broke as she saw tears forming in his eyes again. "Her bones started to snap. Her eyes, man. It was like there was something, like, inside her head, pulling. I didn't know what to do, so I... I ran away. I left her there." He finishes and averts his glassy eyes, ashamed by his story. "You all think I'm crazy, right?"

"No." Dustin shook his head. "We don't think you're crazy, Edd-"

"No, don't bullshit me, man! I know how this sounds!" Eddie cried out angrily.

"We're not bullshitting you at all, Eddie. We believe every word you say." Juliana said. She wanted him to feel safe after last night's events. "Yes, what you said does sound crazy."

"But what I'm about to tell you might be a little... difficult to take." Dustin quickly added after his sister. "You know how people say Hawkins is... cursed? They're not way off. There's another world. A world hidden beneath Hawkins."
