   Summary

   Mike rolled up the painting, Will's painting, not El's, and put it back into the carrier tube. He glanced over at Will, expecting to see him glowing with pride, but instead he saw him staring out the window, hand to his mouth.

   Sobbing.

   "Will?" Mike said, face full of concern. "Will, what's wrong?" He put his hand on Will's shoulder and tugged him to turn around.

   ~or~

   The Byler car scene from season 4, but Mike is actually observant.
