"On the bright side, dying in a funeral home meant that cleanup and transportation would be easy, at least. Nancy Wheeler refused to voice this thought as she stood in the wreckage of what once had been the Farrier Family Funeral Home lobby, the beam of her flashlight taking in the toppled velvet furniture, the thick layer of dust, and the rubble of the collapsed far wall."
"Robin did not share Nancy's restraint. "If we die in here-" "Convenient," Steve chipped in. "Small blessings," Robin added. The pair of them moved past Nancy, pacing out onto the ruined green carpet. "They're a couple of rays of sunshine," Jonathan muttered. He was scanning their surroundings with an appropriate level of wariness, considering the fact that the four of them had disregarded at least five condemned danger, caution danger, or do not enter danger signs."
A canonical pre-Season 5 narrative continues Nancy Wheeler and Robin Buckley's investigative partnership in Hawkins and portrays Nancy as notably tougher and more assertive. Caitlin Schneiderhan collaborated with the Duffer Brothers on the show and contributes insider perspective to the narrative. The excerpt opens with Nancy standing in the wreckage of the Farrier Family Funeral Home lobby, flashlight revealing toppled velvet furniture, a thick layer of dust, and a collapsed wall. Robin, Steve, and Jonathan accompany Nancy and trade darkly comic remarks about dying in a funeral home while noting multiple disregarded danger signs. The scene emphasizes the group's willingness to confront risk and Nancy's hardened resolve, and the events are presented as part of the series continuity before Season 5.
