Stranger Things: Chainbreaker

He had always known that something was missing. He tried to fill the void in every way. Popularity, friends, applause. But the emptiness remained. He excelled in sports, collected victories and praise. Still, it wasn't enough. He had romances, intense nights, dove into parties, drinking, everything youth had to offer. The void persisted.



No matter how hard he tried, it was never enough. Until he started to feel. Emotions that weren’t his — fear, joy, guilt, desire — flooding in from all sides. And with them came the memories. Fragments of his own story, buried for years.



That’s when Steve Harrington understood. What was missing was himself. Not the version he created to survive, but his true self. The marked boy. The numbered child: 007.
