There is no answer. But she can HEAR the SOUND of LOW BREATHING on the other end.

Monologue: JOYCE (CONT’D) Lonnie…? Hopper…? Still no answer. JOYCE (CONT’D) Who is this?

JOYCE (CONT’D) Will?!! Will?!! Jonathan races over to his mom. JOYCE (CONT’D) Where are you, baby?! Talk to me! WILL?! WILL?!

But Will’s breathing is now gone. In its place… ANOTHER SOUND. GUTTURAL. INHUMAN. Shifting in pitch.
