Thee keeps on crying until eventually she stops. "Can you tell everyone what happened?" Steve asks. "Everyone is really confused." Steve rubs Thee's back and kisses her head.

"Y-yeah." Thee says. Steve helps her walk out to the couch.

"Oh Thee, you're bleeding." Steve says. He takes his old shirt off that he borrowed from Eddie and rips it to wrap it around Thee's arm.

"Steve, you need to tame that jungle." Dustin says.

"But I dig it." Thee says. Smiling a little.

"See Henderson? I was right." Steve says.

Thee sits next to shirtless Steve on the couch and she holds onto him.

"So umm, if you don't know, Vecna is my half brother." Thee says. She explains the rest and ends up crying while explaining.

Vecna starts laughing. "And you think I care?" He asks. "I'm going to make you feel some of the pain that our mother felt. You should have been an abomination."

Thee looks at Vecna with sadness in her eyes. Tears fall down her cheeks.

"You are just a traumatized girl that has no one." Vecna says.

It keeps replaying in Thee's head. Abomination. Traumatized. No one.

"Thee." Steve says. "What are you thinking about? You look sad." Everyone is in the kitchen making a plan and Steve and Thee are on the couch.

"What he said to me." Thee says. "Abomination. Traumatized. No one." Thee says.

Steve hugs Thee. "Hey, you are not an Abomination. So what you're traumatized? Big deal. You'll get through it. And you have so many people Thee."

"My whole biological family is dead besides my half brother." Thee says.

"Thee, family isn't always biological. You have me, you have El, you have everyone in this trailer right now." Steve says.

"But Hopper, the person that I called Dad, is gone." Thee says. "He was a father to me."

"Thee, he's still here." Steve says. He points to Thee's heart. "In there."

Thee nods. "And I also have you right here next to me." She says. She smiles and kisses Steve. "I love you Steve."

"I love you too Thee." Steve says. He kisses her. Thee snuggles into his bare, warm chest. Steve puts his arm around her.

Thee starts to fall asleep. Steve strokes her shaved head and puts a blanket over them. "I love you Thee. Get some rest."

"I will Steve." Thee says. She falls asleep.

"I can grab her some of her old clothes." Eddie says. He goes and grabs one of Thee's old T-shirts and a pair of sweatpants and Steve's old sweatshirt.

Steve carries Thee and her clothes into her old room and dresses her into her clothes and replaced the bandages wrapped on her.

"She looks so peaceful." Steve says to himself.
