I don't know, I guess I'd just tell her the truth. That I need to be here for my family, but I don't want to hold her back from her dreams. And that's why I didn't tell her, because I wanted her to chase her dreams, even if it means having to let her go. Because she deserves to be happy, and maybe I'm not what or who's going to make her happy, but that's okay. Maybe just being in her life as a friend will be enough.
Sounds good, man. I mean, it's bumming me out like hell, but it's all grown up and mature and shit.
You should take the letter to her and read it out, right? Now you have the words, you just say them, that's the easy part. Rip that bandaid off. I'll be ready with some purple palmtree and the fattest tube of ice cream when you're done, good buddy.
It did. It sucks, but I've felt like our relationship got off on the wrong foot sometimes, you know? And hoped that we could make up for it in the long run.
I don't know. I love her, or I thought I loved her, but. I don't think we can come back from this.
You mean with all the voodoo spooky upsidedown shit? That's how they bond bunnies, I hear - put them through trauma like a car ride together. Do you think you both would ever have got off on the right foot without the trauma?
Maybe in another life, man. Or this one, when the town's not trying to swallow itself.
Yeah, but. People aren't bunnies, I'm not sure we're meant to bond that way. I don't know, maybe? She only really noticed me because my brother was missing.
Maybe. I guess it's kind of hard to focus on shit like that when we have to worry about what the next interdimensional monster is gonna be.
No, people aren't bunnies, man. Kinda wish we were, though. Big ears and a twitchy nose. Oh! And a super-cute cotton tail! Chicks would dig the tail, you know it. That's kinda spacey, when you think about it - noticing you when no-one could perceive your brother.
Why do you have to worry about it at all? Aren't the government dudes all up in the interdimensional monsters' businesses?
Makes you think how other animals work with courting. Like with birds, it's always the males that are the flashier, more colorful ones trying to get the female's attention. Yeah, that is kind of weird, when you put it that way.
Well, that's the thing. They should be, but if it weren't for our involvement it would have really been a lot worse. They almost screwed up with my brother the year after he was brought back from the Upside Down, they would have let him die in favor of destroying the vines.
Yeah, I always thought my hair would help me stand out, you know? Like a peacock tail. Maybe we should start wearing make-up? Some guys do, right? My dude, you'd look gnarly with some eyeliner, for sure!
Not cool, man. Really not cool. So it's down to us to be superheroes, then? No wonder our dating lives are all messed up! Look at Superman! He keeps screwing things up with Lois because of all the pressure of saving the world.
I think it does. It always looks really soft, kind of makes me jealous sometimes, I don't think my hair would look nearly that good that long. Makeup? I mean, people who get really into the punk scene do eyeliner, so I don't see why not.
Seriously. Plus, let's not forget the government guys that tried to take down El. No, we're kind of on our own. But I'm hoping that we've taken care of the Upside Down problem, once and for all.
I use some good shit on my hair, stop it from getting all matted up. You can use some too, if you like. Good buddies should have soft hair together. Yes? Yes! Where can we pick up eyeliner around here? We're doing this!
The Man, man. Not trustworthy, I've always said, and they proved it, trying to take down a little girl with a helicopter. Not cool. ... Dude. Not to put a downer on things, but, do you think it looks taken care of? I know I'm not from Hawkins, but does it usually look like FrankenTarzan is going to swing past on a thickass vine any minute?
Yeah? You know I keep thinking maybe it's time for a change with the hair. Maybe go a little more punk. Eyeliner...that's a good question.[ And one he can't exactly ask Nancy. Maybe Robin would know? ]I can ask mom if Melvald's has any.
I really hope it's taken care of this time. We came so close to losing everything...but I don't have high hopes. It keeps coming back, it's like nothing ever stays gone forever.

Definitely have that ready, man. I have a feeling I'm gonna need it.

Do you want to break up with her? I keep hearing a whole buncha excuses, but not feelings, man.
