   Summary

   “Mike, you might’ve been a little dumb but you don’t deserve to die” She tells him sincerely.

   “I don’t think Jane did either.” Mike swallows the growing lump in his throat.

   “Besides, when these flowers- when they tear me apart from the inside out and I’m just- a corpse” Mike chokes on his words, tears run down his face. “I would be at peace, Max. Because it means that while I was alive, I loved Will…like I always should’ve” He smiles sadly.

    

   or a Mike Wheeler character study exploring grief, identity, and relationships through the lense of Hanahaki
