Summary
Will had set out to see what was waiting for him outside of Hawkins. He was going to college in the city. Mike knew he was happy. Free, for once.
It didn’t mean he missed him any less, though.
The basement that used to be his sanctuary wasn’t even his anymore. It had long been taken over by Holly and her friends. It was their turn to have their own little world. He knew that it was time to start discovering the real one; he just didn’t know how. He never thought he’d look back fondly on the time when eight people lived in the house, but now, it just felt empty to him.
Writing helped him make sense of everything, but right now, the typewriter sat still on his desk. He didn’t think writer’s block was even possible after everything he’d seen. The sense of stagnation drove him crazy. Nothing seemed to feel right anymore. Was it all just part of growing up? He really hoped not, because if it was-
“Mike! Will’s on the phone!”

Summary
“Why are you here?” She asked, her voice betraying her exhaustion.
“To see if you’re doing all right.”
“I assume that Ray asked you to take pity on me.”
“No, ma’am. He didn’t need to ask me to do anything. By the end, we called each other brothers. That makes it my business to see you’re taken care of.” He pulled an envelope of money out of his pants pocket and held it out so she could reluctantly take it. “I didn’t know your son for very long, but there was a lot of love between us. We saved each other many times.”
He instantly regretted saying the last part. Part of him expected her to throw him out. Instead, she asked:
“Would you like something of his?”
He almost couldn’t believe his ears.
“I’d really appreciate a picture, please, if you can spare one."
She nodded, rose, and left, leaving Pete to his own thoughts. He couldn’t help but take a closer look at his surroundings.
One of the pictures on the wall caught his eye. It was Ray.

Peter visits Mrs. Garraty after the Walk. In each other, they find a strange kind of understanding. In the photographs on the walls, he remembers his friend and wonders what they could have been in different circumstances. -

Summary
As he looked in the mirror, he saw the caring concentration on Elizabeth's face as she brushed his hair. He tried to not wince as his scalp was tugged.
He had never given much thought to what grew out of his head. Once Victor left, it started growing and would not stop. As far as he could tell, it did not do anything. It was the one part of his body that seemed to have a mind of its own.
"What is its purpose?"
“Hair, you mean?”
He gave a small nod, trying to tamp down his embarrassment for asking such an elementary question.
Elizabeth, however, treated it as any other question, as if he had asked for the time. "We're mammals. We all have it somewhere. In animals, it covers their whole bodies for warmth. For us, it simply prefers our heads most of all.”
Us. The word struck him. To Elizabeth, he was no different from her. In doing this act, she was letting him into a part of her existence. Something private, unseen by the outside world. He was willing to go wherever she would lead him.
-
Elizabeth washes The Creature's hair. He learns what it means to feel beautiful.

Summary
It's been two years since the time turner incident, and things have finally settled down for Albus and Scorpius. But that doesn't mean they're free of stress. Less time spent stressing out about having almost destroyed the world means more time for the boys to think about their own feelings...and their feelings for each other. Albus and Scorpius soon discover some wild truths about themselves- but maybe they're not so wild, after all.
