What is friend?
- Eleven to Mike Wheeler, 1983.
Everyone believes El is dead.
But she once promised Mike he'd never lose her again. And friends don't lie.
November 1989. As the anniversary of Will's disappearance and El's supposed death approaches, the Party has never been more scattered. Some remain in Hawkins. Others as far away as they can.
But moving on from Hawkins is impossible.
The survivors of the Upside Down keep circling back to El. As if she's unfinished. Seeking closure on the girl who once asked: "What is friend?"
While the main kids grapple with the loss of their mage, and the older teens struggle to remain close, one truth becomes clear: El is the only thing keeping them together.
Secrets draw them to Tricataracta - a place known for its trilogy of waterfalls. A place Will can't stop painting.
Before they know it, the Party is preparing for one last adventure. And this time, it's not El saving them. They're saving El.
"Though nothing can keep us together
... for ever and ever."
