[Perhaps there's a part of Will, deep down, buried under the pleasant, warm haze, that is completely panicking and freaking out. This is how people get axe murdered, Byers. This is how they go missing.
Except....he's already done that. And there definitely wasn't another, smiling, warm-handed boy involved. Just monsters. This kid doesn't look like a monster. So Will trails along, looking upwards automatically, trying to see the stars. He's very careful with every step, walking up on his toes to be as quiet as possible. At least he can remember that.
It's colder, farther from the fire, and Will steps a little closer. Body warmth. People out in the woods do it all the time.]
