Summary
Will’s voice unravels, a rolling carpet, “I don’t see a way out of this where no one gets hurt, Mike.”
Mike knows that’s true. But he presses his lips together for a long second, then releases, “you’re not getting hurt again.”
Flashes of Mike’s life back when Will went missing fly by, all of them carrying a bone-deep sadness. Mike doesn’t want to go through that to a worse degree. Mike shifts his focus up to Will, his best friend’s expression conflicted. It means Will is listening, truly listening, and Mike yanks forward the truth shouting from the back of his mind to the forefront of his tongue.
“If Vecna wants to hurt someone,” Mike says, “he can have me.”

Summary
It started with a snowball. Nothing large. Then the snowball started rolling.
Will was only thirteen when he noticed something wasn’t right, that he wasn’t like most boys his age. He still coloured, he still played in the dirt and helped his mother around the house, he still picked up bugs off the ground and let them free outside.
He still didn’t find any interest in girls.
