When we were in that other place back in Hawkins, you know, I said I'd seen that before, an' I have. It's one of the places I saw when I was... dying, I guess. Still see it sometimes too. You're never there, though. So, I know that place was really fucking hard for both of us, but the fact I had you there helped me know I wasn't just trapped in those nightmares again. We fought that shit off together.
[Hopefully that's reassuring, even if it means bringing up that particular source of her own nightmares. The fact that it's shared, that means something, doesn't it?
Bothers him that he saw it before he ever went there himself, but maybe that's going to be normal for the rest of his... whatever this is. Not quite life, but not death either.]
