    Summary

    A few days after the attack that left his parents in the hospital and Holly missing, Mike feels completely numb. While the others scramble to come up with a plan, the weight of everything finally catches up to him—and he breaks down alone in the bathroom at the Squawk.

    Will follows him.

    What starts as a panic spiral turns into the first time Mike has truly let himself grieve, and Will stays with him through every second of it.

    OR/ Mike's well-deserved crash out after Holly's disappearance
