   Summary

   A few moments later, he could see his father standing over him as he cowered in the trunk of the car. This was the place his father stashed him whenever Joyce wasn’t around to object. He could hear the slurs and harsh words leave his father’s mouth with such malice that all he could do was cry in response.

   And then just like that, he was back. Back with Vecna. Back in a place worse than hell. He knew exactly the connection Vecna was trying to make, but he would never let himself believe. “You see the similarities, don’t you, William?” Will’s breath hitched. His heart hurt at the comparison. He knew it was not true. But to be able to put the two together like that, it burned deep inside of him. He wanted to hurt Vecna for putting that into his mind.

   Mike is his everything; nobody can take that away.
   Not even Mike.

   OR
