   Summary

   Mike felt exhausted. He turned his chair around, letting go of the blank page of his notebook, and glanced at Will’s painting, hung just above his bed. His thoughts drifted to his best friend, as they often did. It felt like he hadn’t seen him in ages even though it must have been only a few days, but for them ?
   It was a lot. Will wasn't really avoiding him, but it was close, and Mike couldn't blame him. He had been a pretty terrible friend recently. He had been a pretty terrible friend for a long time, probably longer than he realized. As he watched the delicate paint strokes, he remembered Will’s words from that day.
   “El, she commissioned it. She basically told me what to draw”

   Mike and El discussion about the painting, about their relationship.
