致我親愛的 Stranger Things：
回想起2016年走出校園等待兵役的夏末，那是我第一次點開怪奇物語，雙手有些害怕的遮擋那些嚇人的瞬間，卻一不小心跟著踏入男孩們聚集的那個地下室。
我常和身邊的朋友說，怪奇物語不只是一部魔幻與驚悚的影集，更像是一首關於愛與希望的詩歌。那些角色從來不是無所不能的英雄，他們會害怕、會逃避、會犯錯，也會在彼此面前顯得脆弱。但正因如此，他們一次又一次站在一起，用友情、信任與不合時宜的勇氣，對抗看似不可戰勝的黑暗。 看著他們長大，也在不知不覺中，陪著自己走過一段長達十年的人生。
怪奇物語默默的在日新月異的現代世界裡擺上復古，明明時間持續往前，卻透過畫面一步步將我帶回虛幻又真實的80年代，怪奇物語復刻我對於80年代美國一切的想像，從服裝、音樂，甚至到拍攝手法都一一在向那個年代致敬。
故事從龍與地下城開始，也從龍與地下城結束。
地下室的門關上前，舊的冒險小隊功成身退，新的玩家圍坐上桌，骰子再次擲出，世界仍舊繼續運轉前行。謝謝怪奇物語，在我的成長途中給了我歡樂、治癒、信心與勇氣。也提醒我在恐懼與孤獨最深的地方，仍然可以選擇相信。
戴上耳機，點開Kate Bush的Running Up That Hill，繼續奔向自己所期待的那個地方，不論我有多奇怪、多不一樣，甚至內心深處有多麼醜陋難堪。
Goodbye,Hawkins.Goodnight,Stranger Things.
El made her choice.
Now it's time for you to make yours.
And the way I see it,you got two roads ahead of you.
You got one road where you kepp blaming yourself for what happened.
You keep going over it in your head,what you could've done differently.
You push people away,and you suffer,
because that's what you think you deserve.
And then there's another road...
where you find a way to accept what happened.
Find a way to accept her choice.Doesn't mean you gotta like it.
Doesn't mean you gotta understand it.
And never think about it.You just accept it.
And you live the best goddamn life you can.
I've been down that first road before.
And I don't recommend it.
