   Summary

   After Will saves Robin, Mike and Lucas from the demogorgons, he falls into a vision from Vecna where he didn't save them in time and has to hold Mike's dying body in his arms.

   Meanwhile, Will is passed out and Mike is unable to wake him, having to come to terms with his feelings a lot faster than he planned.
