Summary
"Another scream erupts from Mike. Will can hear mountains of pain in his voice, can echo-locate the valleys of truth and the crests of denial. Murray’s words are still playing through Will’s head like the world's shortest cassette, he guesses that it’s the same for Mike— if Murray was right.
Pain and hurt and anguish howl out of him. They aren’t screams that are angry at Murray for making accusations at him. They’re not screams of a wasted day driving for hours for no answers. They are years of repression. They are the pain of the truth.Will Byers has flown back to Hawkins the Summer before Senior Year only to find Mike distracted by newspapers that are making a media circus out of Hawkins in the wake of the "Earthquake". Mike doesn't have threats from the Upside-Down to occupy his brain anymore, so to quiet the rest of the worries that lay there, he'll take whatever distraction he can get. Mike's investigation into ending the media circus leads him and Will to Murray's.
Ft. The painting scene (my version), Will and Mike getting Murray'd, Mike screaming in a field as he has a crisis of self, and so much fluff I could re-upholster a couch. -
