Millie Bobby Brown, the face of Eleven (a telepathic teen with psychokinetic abilities), took to Instagram to share her farewell. In a heartfelt post, she uploaded a carousel of pictures of her as Eleven, alongside a tearful video. She wrote, “Graduation is supposed to bring relief like you’re glad to leave behind the teachers and classmates – not me. I am nowhere near ready to leave you guys. I love each and every one of you, and I’ll forever carry the memories and bonds we’ve created together as a family. I love you. Thank you.”
