"What was Will saying?" Mike asks. He paces around the room in deep contemplation. Y/N sits on the arm of the couch, just above where Eleven in laying. She stops Mike and rubs his arm comfortingly.

"Like home... Like home... But dark?" Mike pulls away from Y/N. She frowns.

"And empty," Lucas says sadly.

"Empty and cold. Wait, did he say cold?" Dustin continues.

"He said cold, I think, I don't know," Y/N whispers.

"The stupid radio kept going in and out!" Lucas sighs angrily.

"It's like riddles in the dark."

"Like home. Like his house?" Y/N tries to come to a conclusion.

"Or maybe like Hawkins!" Lucas points.

"Upside down," Eleven says hoarsely. Y/N looks down at her puzzled.

"What'd she say?" Lucas turns his head to face her.

"Upside down," Mike says.

"What?" Lucas snaps.

"Upside down!"

"When El showed us where Will was, she flipped the board over, remember?"

"I think you're on to something!" Y/N jumps up and walks to the table where Mike is now sitting.

"Upside Down."

"Dark. Empty."

"Do you understand what he's talking about?" Lucas scoffs.

"No," Dustin says blankly.

"Yes! Yes! Guys, come on, think about it! Have you heard of an AU or an Alternate Universe?" Y/N asks rhetorically.

"It's a universe, almost like ours, it is a replica of our world, it is slightly different, it could have different people, different timelines, it could even have us except we haven't met each other or aren't friends!"

"No way! We'll always be friends even in an AU! Anywhere we aren't friends is stupid," Dustin whines.

"It could be a universe where there is nothing there except a monster, where it's Dark and Empty!" Y/N smiles comfortingly at Dustin.

"When El took us to find Will, she took us to his house, right?" Mike says. Lucas nods.

"Yeah," Lucas looks sideways at Mike.

"And he wasn't there."

"What if he was there? I think Y/N is right. What we just couldn't see him!" Mike tries to convince the boys.
