Summary
“In our next life, we’ll get married.”
Will can’t help but laugh at the words.
“I didn’t know reincarnation existed in Catholicism.”
“It’s doesn’t." Mike whispers, tipsy starlight dancing in his eyes, "But I'd believe in anything for you, Will.”
And Will knows Mike is telling the truth. That’s what kills him the most.
or
When Mike is twelve, a new boy arrives at the orphanage. Will—bruised and broken—makes Mike wonder about the world beyond church windows and forgotten forestry. He makes Mike wonder about himself, who he is, who he wants to be. And it only leads to damnation.
When Mike is seventeen, he is sent away to The City. Away from Will. But when he returns five years later, Will isn’t the same boy that he’d left behind. He’s taller, broader, still so beautiful, but his eyes have changed. Once filled with innocent hazel light, they now hold a lifeless gaze that Mike doesn’t recognise.
As Mike dares to look closer, secrets begin to surface, and it falls on him to expose them. All whilst he tries to fulfil his reason for returning to the orphanage — to save William Byers.

Summary
One year after the epilogue, the world was technically saved, but it hadn’t gone back to normal. Hawkins is quiet for the first time in years, the party had scattered, and Eleven’s absence lingers in everything they can’t say. Mike and Will are older now, physically and mentally, shaped by grief and distance, learning how to exist in a future that doesn’t look at all like the one they fought for. The one there friends died for.
Life slowly resumed, college, phone calls home, visits that end too soon, they find themselves orbiting each other. Seeking solace in the presence of each other. Best friends, right? What starts as shared loss becomes shared understanding, shared moments of breakdowns only the other could comprehend. Then, something gentler. Something braver than either of them expected. They find that choosing to stay still when the world keeps moving, choosing to embrace the grief instead of being swallowed by it, and finding peace… that sometimes the world doesn’t end, it just changes.
