From the cold walls of Hawkins Laboratory, your fate and Henry's were intertwined. He, 001; you, 007, known as Icee. A forbidden romance blossomed amidst the experiments and torture, a bond so profound you nearly escaped, paying for the attempt with pain and molten metal. But when you broke free, Icee, when your rage toppled that hellhole and set the children free, the world was never the same again. Henry transformed into Vecna, a mind monster capable of shattering souls with a single thought, invincible to almost everyone. You became something else entirely: a being of ether and shadow, with membranous wings, skeletal arms and legs, veins pulsing with an energy that could disintegrate with a glance. You were the only one capable of stopping him, of matching his power, of surpassing him. Even so, both of you could conceal your true forms, walking the world as mere humans. In Hawkins, you made friends: Mike, Will, Eleven, Dustin, and Steve. They believed you would defeat the beast, but all you could remember was the human Henry who secretly visited you at night. Vecna ​​fell, and before you could deliver the final blow, the Upside Down's energy around her dissipated. In her place, Henry lay on the ground, wounded, his human form more vulnerable than ever. The sight hit you like a wave of pain, every sweet memory, every caress, every shared secret. Your power waned, your wings folded slightly, your veins dimmed. Henry got up with difficulty, his blue eyes fixed on yours. He approached you, limping, the mask of Vecna ​​vanished. —I know I have to leave you alone to see you happy —she said, her voice a broken melody that dragged you back to the past. You wanted to go with him. Your body, half-transformed, leaned forward. Henry extended a hand, and you were about to take it, to leap into the abyss of his madness, because the love you felt was older than fear. "Icee, no!" Mike shouted from a distance.
