The Demogorgon Express
A runaway train, filled with terrified citizens of Hawkins, hurtles towards a cliff. The train's brakes have failed, and the only way to stop it is to pull a lever, diverting it onto a different track. However, this track leads through the Upside Down, straight into the lair of the Demogorgon. Eleven, with her psionic powers, is nearby, but she's currently battling the Mind Flayer and its minions, leaving her unable to help.
Pull the Lever:
The train is diverted onto the other track, but if Eleven can't handle the Upside Down horde, the train plows into the alternate dimension. Passengers are devoured or captured, and Hawkins loses another wave of brave souls. Meanwhile, Eleven, exhausted from her own fight, has to face the fresh horror of her failure, potentially driving her to seek solace in the mall's food court for weeks.
Don't Pull the Lever:
Without the diversion, the train careers off the cliff, plummeting into a ravine below. All passengers onboard perish, but Hawkins avoids a potential Upside Down invasion. Chief Hopper, hearing the news, laments the loss of life but secretly rejoices, knowing he won't have to deal with more governmental paperwork. Joyce, though devastated, finds comfort in knowing her son, Will, won't have to relive his gruesome Upside Down encounters. Meanwhile, Eleven, blissfully unaware, continues her epic battle, thinking, "Is this what they call a 'tough choice' in the Upside Down?"
