Summary
After moving back to Hawkins, Will tries to cope with the dust settling after everything that's happened over the past few years. He knows that he needs to stop pining after his best friend, because Mike is straight. And taken. Will thinks that he could be okay with just being friends, but ever since the summer of '85, Will's felt like him and Mike have drifted apart because Mike simply doesn't seem to care about Will.
Living in the Wheeler's basement, Will isn't so sure that things could get more chaotic. But then, one morning over breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler make an announcement: Mike's cousins Miles and Flora are coming to live with them!
Mike hates this idea, but Will finds himself feeling hopeful. All he can remember about Miles is that he's quiet, and that he looks like Mike. Surely nothing could be complicated about that.
