Summary
A long pause. “...Is this about your fight with El?” If only it were that simple.
Mike shrugged slightly, as if in a show of nonchalance as he tried to offset what he was about to say. “It’s everything.”
Basically, a rewrite of the the van scene in which Mike and Will talk things out properly and Will is not relegated to a relationship councilor because both of them deserve better than what they got.

Summary
The voices of Lucas and Dustin fade out entirely, until it's just little Mike with Will seated before him like a sacrificial lamb. For a moment, all is quiet, the light above the game table casts them in a soft glow. It’s almost…sweet. Endearing. Calm. Nothing but the sound of water lapping at the furniture and younger Mike’s softly mumbled assurances.
A ghastly red light violates the illusion with no warning, seeping through the basement windows, coming out of the walls. The temperature drops so quickly the pressure makes Mike’s ears pop. The clock, which had been silent through the exchange, starts ticking again.
Mike watches in horror as his younger self’s grip suddenly tightens on Will’s face as the red hue overtakes the room.
