Summary
Moving from the wreckage of 1987 into the hope of the years beyond, this saga is about more than just surviving. It’s about two people who refused to let go, proving that "always" isn't just a destination—it’s the long, winding road they choose to walk together, one step at a time.
Or how's Max life after the final battle. With Lucas, who always stay by her side.

Summary
The silence between them is blaringly loud. She squeezes her hand in the duvet, twisting the soft material between her finger tips. Her breaths become caught in her throat as Lucas cups her cheek in the tender way she became so used to.
“You know,” he softens his voice. He always does for her. “Nothing you can do will push me away. You’re kinda stuck with me, Max.”
It’s always raining, always pouring. But she leans into his touch, and if just for a moment, the clouds begin to part.

Summary
“I couldn’t protect Max from Vecna. I couldn’t protect Erica from Andy. I couldn’t protect these two little kids from a demogorgon, they were only nine. And that’s my job, Steve, just like you, I’m the protector. How do I live with myself knowing I didn’t?”
Steve’s smile is sad now. “They’re still here, aren’t they?”

Summary
January 1988.
Max is awake, but fragile. While everyone else moved forward—grew taller, changed voices, stepped into sophomore year—Max was running. Trapped inside Henry’s mind. Reliving memories she never deserved to carry. Forced to survive her worst memories, dying all over again, for nearly 2 years.
Even now, while the party has been taking tests and riding their bikes and mourning El together, Max has been relearning how to walk. How to exist inside her body again.
So when days pass without her reaching out on the walkie, Lucas tells himself it’s fine.

Summary
“Nothing changes,” Holly sobs, and she can feel the tears dripping off her face into her lap. “Dad just sits in his chair and yells at you, and you and Mike and Nancy let it happen, even though you’ve seen- you’ve done things braver than he can even imagine!”
Her mom’s eyes grow watery, too, and she squeezes Holly’s shoulder. “Sometimes, sweetheart, the bravest thing you can do is just to live.”

Summary
“You’re not useless, Max.”
She laughs. It’s absolutely ill-timed, but it wrenches itself from her chest unwittingly. “Be serious,” she says, but it’s hollow and choked. She’s always been bad at grasping the concept that she can’t have her cake and eat it too. It’s not like she wants Lucas to agree, but she can hardly deny the truth in front of them.
For the second time today, Max watches as Lucas’s eyes grow shiny. At first, she’s sure it’s her eyes playing tricks on her, but as soon as a tear travels from eye to cheek to jawline, it’s impossible to kid herself. They run off of his chin and travel down his neck with surety, a path well worn, and Max finds all of the breath in her lungs has left her. “Lucas–”
“You’re not useless,” he says again. Max wants to touch him with a hunger that is reserved for the starving.
