They've got enough to deal with here without knowing all the shit that went down back home. And it's not like it's actually he Mind Flayer here. There's just a bit of it that was in Billy and he's coping with it just fine. [ Steve has to stop, realising it's not his place to just tell nancy everything that's happened with billy here. ] And he's trying to be better too, okay? He's not-- angry like he used to be, Nance. He's doing better.

[ Talking about it-- especially about the mind flayer, stressed steve. he can't control it, he can't fix it. it makes him bite his lip, a sure sign he's more stressed than he's letting on. ]

He's been in the same house as us for a few months now, okay? He moved in when-- something happened and I couldn't look after the kids. He made sure we were okay until I was better and then he stuck around.
