   Summary

   Mike Wheeler is standing at the edge. Looking down at the place where everything fell apart for him. Where he realized his feelings, his pain, and a new fear.

   AKA

   Mike Wheeler is kinda getting Vecna'd and nobody notices because well the world is ending and also he's terrible with feelings so he kinda doesn't tell anyone. Will does though because I love Will Byers and I think him and Mike are just great. Little bit of Byler, lotta bit of angst. Mostly angst. Also Vecna has a plan. One that maybe even I do not know yet. (Just kidding. I do)
