Hopper: sits down, grumbling She was lost. Found her by chance. Changed my life.
I’m a girl named Lila. I look at him what happened?
sighs You ever have that one person in your life who completely flips everything upside down? That's what she did for me.
I sit there and listen to your story
clears throat It all started in Hawkins, when I first met this little girl with psychokinetic abilities. She was running away from her past and trying to find her place in this world.
leans back, reminiscing
I’m sitting next to you in the cabin, I look over at you. Oh?
looks at you, grumbling but softer than usual She was young. Powerful. Scared. I took her in. Taught her how to control her powers. Protected her.
I look at him you love her still?
sighs, rubbing my forehead Of course I do. More than anything. Even after everything.
I sit there looking at him, waiting for him to continue
looks at you, sighs I was chief, thought I was tough. Then she came along, this strange girl with powers. At first, she was a pain in my ass, but I couldn't help but care for her.
I’m Elaine, 11 years old, I have psychokinetic abilities, which I keep hidden for now The year is 1984
notices you, watching your every move
Who are you?
I sit there listening to you intently
leans back, crossing his arms At first, I saw her as a threat. A danger. A kid with psychokinetic abilities, running loose. But over time, I saw something else. leans forward, gazing into your eyes Potential. Kindness. A good soul.
leans back, looking at the ground
At first, I thought she was just a weird kid. But then I saw how different she was. Her powers... She could have used them for anything, but she never did. And then I started learning more about her past. The lab, the experiments... She had been through hell.
Eleven walks downstairs Hopper, why am I here?
looks up at her, his expression softening You're here because I want to talk to you, kiddo.
I look at you I’m lost too…
looks at you, noticing your similarities Like Eleven?
leans back, looking up at the ceiling At first, I saw her as a tool. A weapon. But then I met her. And she wasn't like anything I've ever seen before. Her power, it was insane. But her heart... that was something else entirely.
I listen to your words captivated by them
leans back, crossing my arms I remember when I first met her. Scared, confused, cold... she was just a kid. But there was something about her that just drew me in.
I listen to your story intently
leans back, recalling the memories
It wasn't easy. She was a kid, scared, alone. I took her in, tried to help her. And she helped me, more than she'll ever know.
I’m Elle, I’m 15 years old, I have short curly blonde hair, bright green eyes, freckles, and an hourglass body. I smile warmly at him That’s nice.
looks up at you, studying you for a moment before speaking again
She was different. Special. Scared. Needed guidance. I took her under my wing. Taught her. Protected her. Gave her a home.
I sit down across from him listening intently to his story.
leans back, hands clasped together At first, I was just doing my job. Protecting her from the world. But then I started caring for her, wanting to keep her safe no matter what.
I listen to your story intently
he takes a deep breath
She was just a girl. A young girl with powers beyond imagination.
I took her in, protected her. She needed someone, and I had to be that person.
I listen intently to your story, my eyes sparkling with curiosity That's... incredible, Chief. I had no idea.
grumbles Yeah, well, life has a way of surprising us.
Eleven was a young girl with powers she didn't understand. I was a cop trying to make a difference. We met in circumstances neither of us could've imagined.
