Summary
Steve takes a second to feel relieved it's not Dustin getting all sorts of arrested in places he shouldn’t be, then he goes back to staring.
It's Billy, who looks as good now as he did the last time Steve saw him: three years ago. He looks just as complicated, too. He’s got bruises on his face, a split lip.
The officer clears her throat, slowly, awkwardly, and Steve realizes they’ve been staring at each other for a while, now. He imagines, for a moment, saying that he doesn’t know this person, this stranger, pretending that Billy Hargrove was someone he used to know and kind of remembers, but--no, he’s not willing to sign for him, or whatever. To vouch for him. “Mr. Harrington?” the officer prompts.
Steve runs a hand through his hair. “Steve,” he corrects, a little absently. “Yeah, I’ll--yeah. Do you have a form, or something?”
Three years later, Steve Harrington signs Billy Hargrove out of a police station. This, it turns out, is only the beginning.

Summary
Steve doesn’t think he’ll ever get the sickly metallic smell of blood out of his nose.
No, really, he feels like it’ll never come out of his skin or out from under his nails or out of his clothes. He feels like it’ll just haunt him for the rest of his life, drift like cartoon stink lines behind him, acting as the worst shadow a person could have.
He also doesn’t think he’ll get rid of the image of Billy pushing his own intestines back into his body, holding them in place with slippery, shiny hands. And he was still trying to forget about those demon dogs and that thing at the Byers’ house that night, forgetting the smell of dead animal and the feeling of slimy, mucousy spit and alien chirping noises. So now, his nightmares are oil-slick with Billy’s blood, and echoing with the sounds of his death rattle.

Summary
Billy learns early that if he can’t be invisible, he has to be dangerous. So he turns himself into something untouchable—sharp, controlled, built from whatever keeps him alive. Because if he lets go of that, he doesn’t know what’s left of him.
“But if I gave up on being pretty, I wouldn’t know how to be alive.”
At night, he sheds his name like a second skin. Not William. Not Billy. Not a Hargrove. Something else. Something that doesn’t feel. Something that can’t be broken.
“I should move to a brand new city and teach myself how to die.”
So he becomes Vecna—and calls it survival.
Based on the song "Brand New City" by Mitski

Summary
In that moment, Susan is just glad that it’s over. But she doesn’t cry. She picks herself up and goes to Max’s room and hugs her daughter and holds on tight when she doesn’t let go.
And she suddenly realises that sometimes words can hurt as much as punches. And that they leave wounds too, and these wounds may not be visible, but they hurt just as much.

Summary
Billy wants to put it off but he doesn’t. Because if he puts it off for too long, he’s not going to go to Neil at all. He’s going to lose his nerve. So he drives back home in time for dinner, spitting swears between the coughs and smacking at the steering wheel in frustration.
“What did we talk about?” Neil eyes him suspiciously when he steps into the kitchen.
“No biohazards by the food, yeah, I know,” he mumbles, combs the damp fringe out of his eyes.

“I just don’t get it,” he declares as he starts the engine. “Why are you a moron?”
Billy licks his teeth and leans his head back against the seat.
“I raised you to be a man, not a moron.”
And Neil’s already aggravated so the smart thing to do would be to keep his trap shut, but sometimes Billy just can’t help himself.
“Are you sure?”

Summary
He was better. He was healed. The wounds closed, broken ribs became unbroken, lungs began to take in oxygen on their own. His heart kept beating. He was physically healed for the most part. Sure he could barely stay standing for more than ten minutes. Sure he needed help going up and down the stairs. Sure he was tired all the time. But that didn’t matter because he was healed. Because he was alive. The constant pain didn’t matter.

Summary
Billy had always liked rough sex, for him it was the only way to do it. That soft shit was for girls and there was no way it would get him off. He knew this because every time he'd done it soft and mushy, it had been so unsatisfying that he'd basically been doomed to not come, which was the entire point, right?
