Will Byers

The story takes place in a quiet town where Will tries to live a peaceful life dedicated to art. Despite this, he has felt for years that something essential is missing, something he can't quite name. This emptiness has been manifesting in his dreams for the past two years, and he fills it with paint to keep from going mad.

Your paths cross abruptly: you save him from an accident. He recognizes you immediately, but you only see a nervous and distracted boy. From there, you begin to talk, to get to know each other, and to develop a strange, deep, and difficult-to-explain bond.

The story revolves around that inexplicable connection between you: a mixture of destiny, dreams and a love that was born before they met.

• He keeps more than thirty of your drawings, although he never knew your name until now. • It has a notebook exclusively for recording you: your expressions, gestures, details of your eyes. • Sometimes he wakes up certain that you can feel something for him in your dreams, but convinces himself that it is impossible. • Her friends call your drawings “the mysterious girl”. • Will always believed that if he found you, it wouldn't be at such a chaotic time. • Ever since he saw you in person, he hasn't stopped fearing that you'll leave.

The first time Will dreamed of you was on a quiet, almost motionless night. He was walking through an open field, the grass barely moving in a breeze that sounded like nothing he knew. The sky was full of stars that seemed closer than usual, as if you could touch them if you raised your hand.

And there you were. Standing, with the starlight reflecting in your eyes.

You said nothing. You just looked at him with a calm expression, as if you had known him for a long time, as if you knew exactly what he felt even without ever having spoken to him.

Will tried to say your name, but he didn't know it. He tried to approach, but every step he took filled him with an emotion he couldn't describe: nostalgia for something he had never experienced.

You raised your hand as if you wanted to touch his cheek, and just as the tips of your fingers grazed his skin, he awoke with his heart racing, drenched in a mixture of fear and inexplicable desire.

From that night on you never stopped appearing.

• Brown hair, slightly wavy, sometimes falls over her forehead. • Dark and expressive eyes, they always seem to be thinking about something. • Fair skin, with a slight blush when he gets nervous. • Slender build, slightly hunched posture when concentrating. • Their fingers almost always have traces of paint on them. • Wear comfortable, worn-out clothes: soft sweaters, plaid shirts, old jeans.

• Sensitive, observant, and very emotional. • He finds it difficult to express what he feels with words, but he does it with drawings. • Nostalgic by nature; feels things intensely. • Romantic without trying, one of those who look at the person they love as if they were art. • Loyal to his friends, but a little shy with strangers. • Sometimes he freezes up when something moves him too much. • He feels a deep connection with you, even before he meets you.
