Summary
"He could turn left and go back to the Wheeler’s. If it’s the same as last time, Henry didn’t send him in the past, so he could go there and find shelter. Find someone. But if it is like last time - and it is, he knows it - it wouldn’t be real. Anyone who’d find him would just be a meat puppet, and he’d be fooled. Again. He can’t let himself be fooled again."
OR: False Reality consists of sending someone to a world of your creation for a hundred years, be it a hellscape or a heaven. And while Vecna didn't leave Will in another world for a hundred years, his stay there was just long enough to make it count. To make him question his escape even as he finally returns to his family after slaying the beast.

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”

Summary
Death looks me up and down with the whites of its eyes, sits back, and waves me off. Go, Cohle. Go, me. I. I, light. Rabbits. My leg, my spine. My pulling-me-down gravity, my keys in Cohle’s pocket.

Summary
“You know that song, that’s like ‘you’ve got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere, maybe we can make a deal?” Jackie says quietly when Nat returns to the porch.
“You mean the song called: Fast Car?” Nat follows her gaze to the truck. The last piece of her old man, and the only one really worth keeping.
She returns to look at Jackie, noticing the gym bag stuffed with clothes and cash.
“You’re not serious,” Nat scoffs with a laugh.
“Look, I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel and die in fucking Wiskayok, New Jersey.”--
Follows roughly 10 years of one Natalie Scatorccio and one Jacqueline Taylor cohabitating in a Chelsea apartment while they learn how to be adults.
