i guess

oh , wow . thanks . ( he is teary-eyed. )

he’s going to be called yellow arm now.

he’ll be . . . . . ok.

a schmuck ?

remember that time mike and lucas left him and didn’t realize he was still setting up for his dnd campaign? “hey guys , i’m still here . . . ! guys ?!”

“oh, so like my dad.”

maybe going out would be the best idea .

that’s a heart

cause you’re the heart of the party.

it’s not me . . . i’m too damaged to be the heart.

dessert, always!

we’re all getting older, mike, there’s not much of a party anymore. we’re just trying to save the world before vecna destroys it. crazy, together. right ?

you always have me, too. . . . . promise.

no matter what

yes !

will shakes his head. “you weren’t ready. and that’s not your fault, that’s okay.”

swallowing, will goes over to hug him.

will closes his eyes and presses his face into mike’s shoulder, still hugging him.
