Summary
His bare feet sunk into the dirt, and usually Will would’ve found the sensation a bit disturbing, but now he relished it. The grass was covered in a light sheen of dew that brushed against his ankles. The dirt was slightly damp, and he could feel small pebbles under his feet. The sensation of it all was like a reminder: You are here. You are alive.

Summary
Mike Wheeler hides behind a facade to conceal the pain in his heart. He turns to bad habits, secrets, and stays cloaked in the shadows. That is until an all too familiar foe reemerges in Hawkins and preys on those just like him. Those hiding behind masks, plagued by their pain.
Nobody suspected Vecna would go after Michael Wheeler. Maxine Mayfield, sure. Will Byers? Oh definitely. They’re caught by surprise when Mike Wheeler is targeted and Vecna chases after him like a hunting dog. After all, why give up such easy prey?

Summary
“And it’s not your job to carry that burden.”
“Yeah- yeah, I know. People always say that. But it’s not like Will’s a burden. And, with all due respect, I disagree that that’s not my job. As a friend, I think it is. I want to check in on him. Yeah, obviously Will needs more help than I can give him, but everyone needs friends to talk and open up to.”
“Of course, I didn’t mean-”
Mike cut him off. “And yeah, therapists are kinda like ‘paid friends’ that have a psychology degree and more wisdom than anyone else you talk to, but friends friends are real, genuine people who want to stick by your side through the good and the bad. No offense. I’m not saying therapists aren’t genuine and don’t want to help people. I’m just saying that therapists are paid to help you. Friends aren’t. Friends make that decision all on their own.”
