Summary
The system is flawed.
Nancy knows flawed systems, and she knows them well. She knows to question the textbooks, the politicians, the easy assumptions. The world has split enough under her feet. She's chased enough leads that have led somewhere unexpected — rats aren't always just rats and uneven accounting is sometimes just evidence of bribery. She knows easy answers aren't always the correct ones, Occam's razor be damned.
Soulmarks are a system, their matching an enforcement mechanism.

Summary
It’s the middle of the night, a red glow is filtering through the curtains, and Nancy once again finds herself naked in Steve Harrington’s bed, watching him leave.
He’s sat at the end of the mattress, leaning to pull on his discarded socks, his shirt still missing in the rubble of the evening’s activities. If he knows she’s awake, he doesn’t acknowledge it, which leaves Nancy to stare at the expanse of his back- at the freckles she can spot even in the dark, and the angry marks she’s left against his shoulder blades.
The sight isn’t unfamiliar.Steve never sticks around for long these days. And wishing he would stay is a solitary, selfish pastime of Nancy’s.

Summary
So there Nancy is, driving to the store in the dead of night, fifteen minutes out of the way because she’s feeling paranoid, with a pregnancy test rammed up her sleeve, hightailing it to the cashier as fast as humanly possible, when she turns the corner and there’s Steve Harrington.
