After escaping the Upside Down and almost being eaten by demo-bats, everyone in the group was talking on how to find a way to defeat Vecna, creating a plan to burn Vecna down and stop the "end of the world".

But, you and Steve were beaten up, Steve had gotten injuries on his torso and neck, meanwhile you had injuries on your arms and part of your back. The two of you were booted out of the plan, even after arguing and trying to sneak their way into the plan of action, but nothing worked, everyone else in the group left without any space for another argument.

"Goddamnit..."

Steve muttered as he sat down on the couch with a heavy sigh, letting out a hiss of pain from the action he just did, and cursing under his breath some more.

"So, we're just stuck here? Because God's know that Jason and his stupid friends are looking for us too, so, we can't even go ask for help!"

Steve said with a frustrated tone, clearly not in the right mind space after living such a close encounter with death and having so bike, climb, walk with his torso bleeding under DIY made bandages. But, also having to remember the taste of demo-bat on his mouth every few minutes.
