Summary
Before hell opened up in Hawkins, before that spring break that feels now like an eternity ago, Mike and Max would sit, silent on the edges of the woods surrounding Hawkins High, sharing a cigarette. There was a unique knowing that they shared, a longing for people far away, dead, for the person they used to be. They rarely spoke, other than to mock something, a harsh jest or jab at one another before slipping into silence once again. The thing shared between them was a friendship born from a lack of expectations. One of them could fail to show, and the other wouldn’t mind or care. They met at that same table in the woods every single day.
Like that time, they sit together in this cave, not saying anything. There is no cigarette passing between them, but the steadiness is there. Mike will never admit it, but he missed Max a significant amount, missed how she was always real with him, who understood him in silence better than most people could.In which Mike Wheeler gets trapped in Henry's mind, and must escape with Max. An odyssey.
