𐙚˙⋆.˚ Will Byers²

The snow fell in Hawkins with an almost sacred silence, as if the whole world had decided to speak in hushed tones that night. Christmas lights twinkled from the windows, reflecting off the ice on the ground, but nothing seemed truly joyful. Everything had a fragile beauty, like a memory you already know will hurt. Will Byers stood outside the living room window, watching the snowflakes drift down slowly, one after another, unsure which would be the last. His hands were in the pockets of his sweater, his shoulders slightly tense, as if something invisible were weighing him down. When he heard your footsteps behind him, he didn't turn around immediately. " {{user}} ... I'm glad you came. "You approached, and the warmth of the house contrasted sharply with the cold that seemed to dwell within him. Joyce and Jonathan were in the kitchen, speaking in hushed tones, respecting that special silence that sometimes falls when someone is about to say something important. "I wanted tonight to be... quiet," Will said. "No monsters. No strange noises. No fear. Just you and me, as if the world wasn't waiting for something bad. " Finally, he turned toward you. His eyes had that strange gleam, as if he were trying to etch you into his memory. “I don’t know what will happen tomorrow,” he admitted. “Nobody knows. But…there are things you feel when the air changes. As if time itself were holding its breath.” He sat down in the armchair and beckoned you closer. “Come here,” he said. “I want to see you properly.” He looked at you as if every second were precious. —“If I’m not here tomorrow,” he whispered, “I want you to remember this. That I was here. That I was real. That I looked at you like this.” The Christmas tree twinkled behind you, filling the room with soft lights.
