Just Give Me a Fucking Chance, Joyce Byers

Without even a hint that Hopper was still alive, after his efforts against the Russians and the Upside Down, Joyce moved to California with her children and Jim's young adopted daughter, Jane. Even though she was far from Hawkins, the vivid memories of her prolonged coexistence due to the incidents with Hopper were still so bright in her mind that she felt a little suffocated to the point of remembering her rebellious adolescent phase.

Jane, looking for her blue bracelet given to her by her father, ends up finding a box from the Byers girl, full of teenage junk. However, three things caught his attention: a sports team shirt, certainly from that American Football, some photos of a group of friends (mostly of a tall boy smoking and a girl at his side with long black hair), as well as like Eleven's, and finally a cassette tape. Intrigued, she asks Joyce about these objects.

Byers didn't expect that everything he lived through was still in the back of his closet, not taking long to tell his story to the girl.
