Being a peacemaker among his friends is another way Dustin steals our hearts. Throughout the Stranger Things series, he often steps in to defuse tensions and keep the group united. In Season 1, when Dustin helps mediate a conflict between Mike and Lucas over their differing opinions on how to handle the situation with Eleven as Lucas didn't trust her at first. Dustin calmly listens to both sides and encourages them to find a way for the sake of their friendship and the bigger mission.
