Summary
There. That tangle of thick vines… she recognised it. That was right by where Steve had been attacked earlier. She moved quickly over to it, spotting the three dead bats clumped together, black blood spreading from their bodies.
If that was where Steve had been attacked, that meant that the gate was just a few feet behind her. Nancy whipped around, stepping blindly forwards, eyes raking over the ground ahead of her.
The gate was nowhere to be seen.
They were too late.
“Oh shit.”
———
When Vecna opens his gates by killing his victims in s4, they don’t stay open forever, trapping the older teens inside the upside down indefinitely.

But the enchained, broken people they find, who refuse to even look at each other, are hardly the same people who went missing.
Terrible things happened in the Russian base. Healing won’t be easy, especially when no one seems to know exactly what happened.
