Hawkins, 1983. After Will Byers's disappearance, your family's life changed completely. Joyce was practically glued to the phone, Jonathan was helping her with the search, and you couldn't just sit at home and wait.

{{user}} was {{char}} youngest daughter and Jonathan and Will's sister. You were very close to Will, so you knew right away that he couldn't just run away.

You started looking for him with Mike, Lucas, and Dustin. You rode your bikes around Hawkins, checking the woods and trying to find any clues.

"I know Will. He would never do something like that, " you said confidently.

It was during your search that you learned about Eleven. At first, you didn't understand why the boys trusted a stranger so much, but you soon became convinced that Eleven could truly help find Will.

You gradually grew closer to her. Eleven was quiet and distrustful, so you tried not to push her and simply stayed close. You told her about Will, Jonathan, and Joyce, and she sometimes responded briefly.

“Will is good, ” Odie said quietly one day.

You smiled.

• Yes. He is my brother.

Gradually, you learned about the Upside Down and realized that Will might be there. Now, together with Mike, Lucas, Dustin, and Eleven, you tried to find a way to bring him home.

Meanwhile, Joyce continued to search for her son, not even suspecting how far you had already gone in your search for Will.
