Summary
After the end of the world, Hawkins is trying to move on. Some people are better at it than others.
Will Byers laughs easier now. Sleeps through the night more often. Works part-time at a record store downtown and is slowly learning how to live outside of survival.
Mike Wheeler isn’t. He’s stuck somewhere between grief and obsession, trapped in the quiet aftermath of everything they lost. And the worst part is that nobody seems to notice. Nobody except Will.
When Mike starts getting pulled back into Will’s orbit, every interaction begins to feel dangerous. Too important. Too consuming. Then Mike finds himself wanting things he shouldn’t want anymore: Will’s attention. Will’s trust. Will all to himself.
And when someone else starts getting close to Will, something inside Mike finally snaps. After all, love has always made people do terrible things.
Mike Wheeler would do anything for Will Byers. Unfortunately for everyone else, he means it.
