   Summary

   Sometimes he wonders, though, about what life might’ve been if he had been able to be Mike the Brave instead of Mike the Oblivious. But it worked out for Will in the end, hadn’t it? He moved on.

   Will moved on, but as the years go by, Mike is less and less sure that he did.

   Summary

   June 6th, 1990: Achilles' story starts the night Patroclus dies in a gang related accident.
   September 1st: 1981: Patroclus' story starts in jr. high, when he meets Achilles and Briseis.

   Alternating between the two perspectives, we see Achilles' rage and descent into unbearable grief after the death of the person who kept him tethered to earth, and Patroclus' time growing up alongside someone who's stuck in a life he didn't choose.
