    Summary

    The war is over. Henry is a memory, and Hawkins is rebuilding over the cracks of the Earth. But for Max, the silence is the loudest thing in the room.

    Eleven is gone—vanished into the fray of the final battle—and the Party is left with a hole that no amount of time can fill. While the others look for answers, Max is just trying to look at the sun without seeing red. Supported by Lucas, who has become her steady hand and her quiet North Star, she begins the 18-month crawl toward graduation. It’s a journey of relearning how to walk, how to breathe, and how to love a life that feels like it was stolen.

    Just as they finally learn to let go—just as the grief starts to feel like a scar instead of an open wound—the universe decides to speak back. Because in Hawkins, "gone" doesn't always mean "forever."

    or

    The eighteen months between Vecna’s death and the party’s graduation day.

    Summary

    “You don’t still think that though, right? You’re it for me Max. There’s no one else I’d ever want to be with” he reiterated, and though she knew everything he was saying already, she still felt her heart do somersaults inside her chest.

    “Oh no, I’m well aware of the fact that I’m stuck with you forever” she replied fondly.

    “As long as you’ll have me, I’ll be here” he said.

    Summary

    When she's upright, Erica asks "Do you want to use your cane or hold onto me?" 

    "I'll hold onto you," Erica moves to settle side by side with her, guiding her arm to rest across her shoulders and Max begins to laugh. "There's no way you're almost as tall as Lucas."

    Erica tries not to let the feeling of sadness settle deep in her stomach at those words, knowing the other girl would never be able to see her clearly ever again but as she pushes the feeling away, she's also reminded of the bickering they'd do on those weekends three years prior when Max first started dating her brother.

    She laughs too, "He never thought the day would come either."
