PAPA WENT UPSIDE DOWN

No

Nonetheless, Miss Hopper is one of his least irritating patients, and so he will continue to see her for as long as her parents see that she needs him.

Making note of the time, Brenner finishes the sentence he’s writing and stands up, making his way to the door of his office. Making his way out to the waiting room, he sees her there, waiting patiently for him as he had for her.

“Miss Hopper. Please, come in.”

Here, not a soul knows who he is, nor what he’s done.

He shudders and shakes in the cold, rainy air, pulling his coat around him tighter tighter, trying desperately to find warmth, but the cold is so so deep within his bones, the world still so so dark despite how his eyes have adjusted to the light of our world.

When he stumbles into the building, his coat is soaked all the way through, and he shakes violently as he takes the elevator up, the stink of piss and marijuana thick in the air of it. When he arrives on his floor, he stumbles all the way down the hall, hardly aware of his surroundings barely noticing if anyone is even there.

Arriving at his door, he pulls out his key and begins fumbling with his key and the lock, and after several tries, he becomes convinced that he must have the wrong key, and begins searching through the ring again. He feels a pang of sadness as he passes every Hawkins Lab key, worn and covered in grime from the years of disuse.

As he searches for the key, hovering suspiciously over the lock, he fails to notice that the door before him is one that reads ALIAS INVESTIGATIONS.

“papa….no more.” despite her limited vocabulary, it’s evident from her tone that eleven doesn’t want to do any tests that day. she just wants to be a child for one day without being forced to take part in things that she despises so greatly. “please…no more, papa.”
