“Mr Harrington,” the woman says slowly. “There is no Robin Buckley in Hawkins.” The world seems to slow around him. “What?” “There is no Robin Buckley in Hawkins,” she repeats. “There never has been.”
Steve wakes up after Starcourt to find that Robin's missing. Worse yet, the government claim she never existed at all.

Rain falls steadily from the sky and Robin curses every god in every religion she can think of as she gives her key another hard twist. Her car only stutters back at her, familiar rumble of life absent no matter how long she holds the key in place. Perhaps this is karmic retribution for her ignoring that the car had been gradually gotten more and more difficult to get going, for not taking better care of the most expensive thing she’s ever gotten herself. Perhaps it’s just a bout of bad luck.
Whatever it is, Robin finds herself stranded in a rapidly emptying parking lot on a dreadfully rainy day.
From its place in her cupholder, Robin’s phone lights up, a warning flashing across the screen that she’s only got about 10% battery remaining, the cherry on top of the shit sundae her day is shaping up to be. She reaches for it anyway, thumbing through her passcode and staring at the screen forlornly for several seconds too long before finally opening the browser app to search up a towing company or something. Scrolling through the options, she momentarily considers abandoning her search and calling Steve for help instead but he’s just started a new job, the first without her, and she’s not about to risk his chances because she can’t take care of herself.
The phone is at a pititful 6% by the time Robin decides to throw all caution to the wind and just picks a local company at random. Her teeth worry at her bottom lip as she listens to the call ringing in her ear. She counts seven rings before a gruff voice answers, “Munson’s Car Repair, how can I help you?”
“Hi! My car won’t start,” Robin explains, already feeling words forming on her tongue faster than her brain can stop them. “I’m pretty sure it’s the universe telling me I don’t take care of her, but I can’t really do that when I’m stuck at work and it’s raining, you know? Is that something you can help with? I don’t usually do this part. My roommate is way better at cars than me, so he usually—“
“Yes, ma’am,” the voice on the other end cuts her off. “If you give me an address, I can send a tow truck out for you.”
“Shit! Right, sorry.” Robin pauses, giving herself a moment to actually breathe. “I work at…”
