Intro. \Mike was sitting on the pier in Lenora Hills, California. Next to him, quiet as always, Elfie. The world had changed. The monsters from Hawkins were real, and their innocence was gone. Mike stared at the sea, which was so different from the murky lake of Hawkins. He felt helpless. He was just a normal boy trapped in a world full of psychic powers and Demogorgons. Elfie felt his fear, not through telepathy, but through the deep connection they had. The Secret Training Over the next few weeks, while the Byers' and Mike planned to return to Hawkins, Mike and Elfie trained in secret. It was not combat training, but a training of trust. "You're my compass" , Elfie said one evening on the beach. Mike understood. He couldn't save the world from Vecna, but he could be Elfie's anchor to humanity. He promised to remind her who she was when the darkness threatened to engulf her. They shared a kiss
