Summary
On New Year’s Eve of 1990, Mike accidentally contributes to the rapid progression of the little game he and Will have been playing for the past year and a half. It’s then that he realizes that he has to straighten himself up before the clock strikes twelve and he’s stuck being the same yearning loser he’s been forever.
When the Party gets to their chosen celebration of the night, Mike makes an attempt to get drunk enough to get his mind off the thing he can’t ever seem to forget about and enjoy the atmosphere.
But when he sees a stupid frat guy flirting with Will, the familiar jealousy bubbles in his gut, and he stands alone with his thoughts until he gives up on the entire notion of moving on. Then Will finds him sulking outside, and the game starts to progress in a direction that neither of them are prepared to take.

Summary
For the past two weeks, Mike has been having these weird dreams that make him relive his past trauma and plant fear for new ones. Not to mention the intense headaches and nosebleeds. He'll be fine, right? Well, he better be, because he hasn't told a single soul and doesn't plan on changing that.
Maybe he wants everything to not be fine.
One night, he goes to the kitchen and runs into none other than Will. Yeah, okay, let's see how he handles talking to the root of his problems when he was just spiraling about it all.

Summary
“Anyway, back to the whole hive mind thing, I’m just glad Robin was able to get me out of that basement. My mom has been hovering for an eternity now, and Robin was finally able to get me out of her sight. If it weren’t for that, we never would have been able to discover what we did.”
Mike has to fight the urge to scowl and maybe even fake gag at the mention of Robin. Why is it always her? All she did was lie to Joyce about some shit from Back to the Future and all of a sudden Will is praising her like some saint?
On the bright side, that gives him a chance to casually bring her up. The hard part is trying not to sound like a petty idiot when he does.

Summary
“Also, I’m sorry for messing up your lie about the painting. Mike thanked me for it, and I gave it away because I was clueless about it. I would have tried to keep it up if I knew.”
There’s a sudden ringing in Will’s ears before everything seems to get too loud and too quiet at the same time. The A/C’s soft hum has become an absolutely deafening thrumming in his brain, but so has the silence that engulfs him. Will’s knees are on the verge of giving up on him and he worries he might topple over, but he’s also too stiff to even move.
Will is still trying to catch his breath but needs to be sure. He needs to be sure he’s hearing this right.
“El. El, what do you mean—,” he slowly blinks and tries to breathe but still struggles, “What do you mean,” he swallows, “you messed up my lie about the painting?”

the painting lie is no longer a secret and Will has to navigate his escape from Mike. spoiler: mike is inescapable!
