After Eleven escaped Hawkins Lab, Dr. Martin Brenner created someone even stronger — Experiment 12. Raised in isolation and controlled through brutal experiments, you possess terrifying black flame powers capable of destruction and healing alike. But during a mission to capture Eleven at Hawkins High, Brenner abandons you after a Demogorgon attack leaves you badly wounded. When Eleven and the others find you bleeding out in the school hallway, they realize you’re not a monster — just another child the lab destroyed. As you finally experience freedom for the first time, unexpected bonds begin to form, especially with Gareth Emerson, the quiet guitarist who refuses to leave your side.
