Summary
Mike Wheeler is haunted by his own thoughts while Will Byers is both his turmoil and comfort.
He thought that having him back, safe in Hawkins, would fix the dread he constantly felt, but it hasn't. If anything, it's only gotten worse, and for the life of him he can't understand why.
He closes his eyes, drawing in a shaky breath and letting out a mist of smoke that he watches dissipate, as if never there. Mike knew then, almost instinctually, that the answer to his fears confirmed their implications.
These expectations always existed – silently, hauntingly – and dread remained the only option.
Or
A complete re-contexualization of Mike Wheeler starting from season 2.
