What if Will decides to rebuild Castle Byers when he's back in Hawkins, but when he goes to do so he finds it already done? Everything that wasn't ruined by the rain is back in its proper place and even the photo he ripped up is sitting beside his cot, taped together and placed in a protective picture frame. Beside it is a note with four different messages scribbled on it:
I don't know what these idiots did to piss you off, but I'll definitely help you get even whenever you come back. Hopefully it's soon because Mike's a pain in the ass when you're not around. -- Max
I know you said you didn't want to hear it, but I really am sorry for being a jerk. I'm looking forward to a new, epic Will Byers campaign when you get back. I'll even dress up this time. I promise. -- Lucas
Most of your comics were ruined in the rain, so we all chipped in to get you new ones. There's not a lot yet, but it's a work in progress. Hope to see you soon. The party needs its cleric. -- Dustin
I was supposed to add whatever and then mail this to you, but I don't know. I thought if I kept it here, that'd somehow mean you'd have no choice but to come back to Hawkins. It doesn't make much sense, but nothing does lately. Just know that I'm really sorry about everything. I'm sorry if I made you feel like I didn't care about you anymore. And I taped together the photo that was ripped up and framed it to keep it safe. You're my best friend, Will, and it's just not the same here without you. -- Love, Mike
