Summary
“There was a boy,” Izzy’s dad murmurs. “He… he was my first friend—my best friend. And I…”
His voice trails off. Tears well in her dad’s eyes, and Izzy reaches across the space between them, taking his free hand. She gives it an encouraging squeeze, and her dad laughs, soft and broken and free.
“I loved him, Izzy,” her dad whispers, meeting her eyes. “I loved him. I really, really did.”
Or:
The one in which Mike Wheeler has a crash out of epic proportions when listening to ’Good Luck, Babe!’ and his daughter, Izzy, decides to do something about it.

Summary
The screen flickers, and the words, "July 18th, 1978. North Denver," appear.
Steve freezes as the cheers reach him, his ears ringing. He can faintly feel Nancy's firm, questioning touch on his arm and Jonathan's leg pressed against his own. His eyes blur with tears that he would never let fall in the presence of his family. The TV flickered in-between static and an image of a boy, only 13 years old, eyes bright with determination. He remembered wanting to win that game more than anything. Amongst the static, a faint voice crackles through the room.
'Your arm was mint, you almost had me.'
Steve can't breathe.
He can't breathe, He can't breathe, He can't breathe.
Finn bolts off of the couch and runs outside to get air, leaving those in the room to shout after him.
God, He needs weed.
