Summary
Shocked was not the word. Ilya ran for his phone and immediately opened Google. If he wasn't going insane, then there had to be a logical explanation for what had just happened.
'Why is a flower coming out of my mouth"
The simple search yielded results that made Ilya turn his phone off and sit down. He was on the edge of the bed, sitting and staring at his own two feet. He didn't know what to do. The top result was as follows,
'The Hanahaki disease is something that is very rare these days, only being seen in about 2% of the population. It is also referred to as 'unrequited love sickness'. This is caused by someone experiencing unrequited love, causing the body to grow flowers in the lungs and throat. The disease is usually marked by a full flower coming out of the patient the first time it happens. This then begins the progression of the illness, with smaller parts of flowers being coughed up at first, and as the roots get bigger, the patient will begin to vomit up full flowers just as the first time.'
or
Ilya Rozanov develops Hanahaki disease and chooses Shane Hollander over himself.

Summary
Shane opens his mouth and plucks a single, baby-soft petal off his tongue. He can’t even tell what kind of flower it is. It’s been inside his body for too long.

Summary
As Mike climbs the Squawk tower in the Upside Down, he considers confessing to Will, but before the words take shape, Vecna possesses Mike, and he is sucked into visions of guilt and self-hatred. With Will's voice guiding Mike out of Vecna's twisted mind, the only way for him to escape is to accept himself and his love for Will.
“What matters is you’re still here,” Will continued, “And you still think we can be friends.”
Mike felt a tug in his gut, a confusing sort of melancholic pang that drew a sad smile to his face.
“Friends.”
Mike wanted to be so much more than friends. He wanted to be honest with Will about everything: how he found out Will had lied about El commissioning the painting; how he realized Will's description of El’s feelings had been no more than a veiled confession; how he and El had broken up as his feelings towards Will took form; and how he finally began to understand his feelings, even though they had always been there, unchanging.
OR: A Season 5 finale rewrite of the "Friends? No, best friends" scene where Mike gets Vecna'd AND is actually a well-written character (who just happens to have internalized homophobia and loves Will).

Half an hour later, Mike keeps staring out of the torn-up walls of the truck, following the lighting red, pulsing walls they are crashing through – There is only one unrelenting thought in his head, repeating over and over until it feels like it is suffocating him, inside out.
Who the fuck is Tammy?
