imagine you are Will Byers. your mom gets with Hopper, so you move into his place.
you move your things into the bedroom of your sister who saved you when you were small. you can never tell anyone you never truly considered her your sister. you cared about her a lot, and she lived in your house for a while, and that's her title, and it would be mean to revoke it now.
now you live in her house. you tack your art up on the wall of your sister who killed herself in front of you while you screamed, so the space feels more like yours.
you climb into the bed where she used to kiss the only person you loved and you try to fall asleep. you look at the same shadows cast on the walls that her eyes must have traced as she tried to fall asleep when this place was new to her, too. you wonder if when you do fall asleep, if you'll have the same nightmares in this bed that she used to have. you lay awake sobbing. you don't know if you're guilty or just sad.
it's a small cabin, but every one of its few corners is haunted by El. that's where El used to eat dinner. that's where El used to watch tv. that's where El shielded you from tentacles with her own body. she's gone, but your new home isn't big enough for both you and her ghost.
