   Summary

   A very depressed Mike Wheeler comes to visit Will in Montauk

   Testing the waters for a book I'm writing by putting Byler in a similar scenario.

   Personally I LOVED the finale/epilogue and I loved seeing them allow Will to explore himself and Mike to actively be depressed instead of just there. So this is primarily about their characters, and is mainly a look into how I imagine Mike's mental health
