The whole thing is a mind fuck as it is and then Billy confirms that he had been dead but wasn’t now and Steve’s head is reeling with the information.
Or it is until Billy opens the hoodie completely and he sees the full extent of the physical damage the Mind Flayer did to him. He can’t help the wince when he looks at it and he has to stop himself from reaching out to touch, to see if he can feel the black veins.
He’s about to argue about how hard it is for Joyce here when Billy mentions Hopper.
“What?” But Billy is gone and Steve feels like the whole world has gone topsy turvy -not for the first time in the last few years- and he can’t seem to get a proper breath in.
But food. Billy needs food and he can’t contact Joyce right now at... god what even is the time? Too late to call. He’ll call Mrs Byers directly in the morning.
He heads down to the kitchen and, almost on auto pilot, makes a couple of PB&J sandwiches as if he were making snacks for the kids and not the former dead man in his shower.
