    Summary

    "I was being serious when I said I don't have many stories to tell, you know?" Neteyam settled to say, starting to feel a little bashful from the many times the other seemed to have shown interest in his life. (In him. It felt odd, considering how the people around him usually only ever ask about Toruk Makto and how it felt like to be the warrior's son.)

    Purposely, before Aonung could say a word, the omatikayan added, "Plus, why do you still insist on getting me to talk anyway?" Then, just because, he added jokingly, "Do you like me or something?"

    Rather than reacting to the joke, Aonung replied to the omatikayan's other questions. "Like I said; no way you don't have stories to tell.

    You came to our shores wearing your cummerbund. That garment alone tells a lot."

    "Like what?"

    "Like how you look as young as your younger brother, but already act so…" he paused, thoughtful, "…mature."

    "I don't look that mature."

    "Forest boy. I'm also 15 - yet I still act like a child."
     

    or Neteyam wasn't used to attention. (Aonung had all the time in the world.)

    Summary

    Ao'nung was born Nì’aw, the marked one, one of the Syawntu, which means somewhere there, there's his soulmate, his fated one, his Txe’lan, to whom his heart sings.

    Ao'nung hates it. He wishes he could be normal, fall for anyone, wishes he could spend his days without this fathomless longing inside of his chest that knows no direction.

    But then, one day, six Omatikaya come from the sky and when he lays his eyes on one of them, he can't imagine the world could ever be any different.

    Summary

    Perceptive isn’t a word Jonathan Byers would use to describe himself. Watchful could work, but only to a certain degree. A careless, languid watchful. Too relaxed to be considered sharp, but he notices enough not to lose the title altogether.

    Will and Mike, from Jonathan’s perspective.

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    Sieun knows that his parents just want him to move past it, to get over it, even if they won’t say it out loud. But there’s no moving past it—not as long as Suho stays like this. There’s nothing to propel him forward, nothing to knock him out of this equilibrium.

    In physics, terminal velocity is the maximum constant speed attainable by an object falling through a fluid. It occurs when the sum of the drag force and the buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity acting on the object. Once it has been reached, the object has zero acceleration.

    Sieun has been falling for a long, long time.

    Ahn Suho wakes up. They pick it up from there. (Or: Ahn Suho's cram school for one.)
