   Summary

   "When you get to wherever you're going, will you..." he falters for a moment, the words almost too hard to say. "...will you forget about me?"

   Will looks at him, like he can't believe what Mike had asked. 

   Then, he throws his arms around Mike, holding onto him like is trying to tie their souls together, so that their bodies would not feel so lonely while being apart.

   "Never."

    

   Or: Will tells Mike he is leaving Hawkins for good. And Mike has no other choice than to let him go.
