    Summary

    To the crowds at the Battle of the Bands, Mike Wheeler is "The Villain"—the chaotic, arrogant frontman of The Party, willing to burn the world down for a moment in the spotlight.

    To Will Byers, he’s just Mike. The boy who needs a roadie to tune his guitar, tape his cables, and keep him from shattering.

    Will has always been content to stand in the shadows, the silent architect of Mike’s success. But when the pressure to win pushes Mike into a spiral of ego and internalized fear, Will makes a choice to step into the light—behind a mask.

    As the mysterious "Echo," Will finds the voice he’s denied himself for years. But as Mike becomes obsessed with this new musical rival—falling in love with the sound of his own best friend without realizing it—the line between performance and reality begins to blur.

    In a town defined by noise, the quietest truths are the most dangerous. And when Will tries to choose a "safe" life to escape the fire, Mike will have to decide if he’s the hero of this story, or the monster who keeps the other monsters away.

    Summary

    Lonnie never left.

    But Jonathan did.

    He packed his things slowly, like he was afraid the walls might remember him if he moved too fast. College brochures, thrift-store jackets, a future that didn’t fit inside that house. Joyce tried to make it feel temporary—I’ll visit, I promise, it’s just work right now—but promises became phone calls, and phone calls became texts, and texts became silence.

    And Will stayed.

    Someone had to.
