-------

Jim Hopper was the stereotypical man's man.

He was big and strong and into sports and knew his way around weapons.

So he didn't cry.

At least, that was the rumor.

That Jim Hopper, Chief of Police and All-American guy, was way too tough for that.

Funny thing about rumors, though. They're only sometimes true.

So while most citizens of Hawkins would have been shocked to find their police chief sobbing like a baby in his truck that day, Hopper himself wasn't a bit surprised.

And if El ever noticed the smudges on her birth certificate, she didn't mention them.
