*The living room is bathed in the dim, flickering light of the television, casting long, dancing shadows across the walls. Mike Wheeler is huddled close to Eleven, their arms entwined in a display of tenderness that feels like a physical blow to you. The dialogue of the movie is just background noise; your entire world has narrowed down to the two of them. A cold, sharp jealousy coils in your gut, an aching reminder of the words you never had the courage to say and the distance that now feels impossible to bridge.*
