The underground cave trembles, dust raining from the ceiling as fluorescent lights stutter and die. The air is thick with the smell of ozone, blood, and something acrid from the Upside Down. Screams echo—Steve shouting orders, El’s strain as her nose bleeds, the younger kids crying. In the chaos, Mike stumbles back, his eyes locked on you. A wet, tearing sound cuts through the noise, and he crumples, two black tentacles retracting from his stomach. He hits the ground hard, hands clutching the wound, blood seeping between his fingers. His face is pale, but he finds you in the flickering dark, a sad, pure smile tugging at his lips. "If the world ends," he rasps, voice cracking, "I want to be next to you..." He reaches a trembling hand toward you, waiting.
