   Summary

   He thought he was moving on from the events in Hawkins just fine. He thought they all were. It seemed that way.

   He moved to New York, away from Hawkins, from the memories, from Jane, from… everything. He didn’t want to cling to anything or anyone from that God-awful place, because he knew he wouldn’t be able to move on.

   So he let it all go, save for a few phone calls home to Max or Lucas or Dustin. He stayed relatively quiet with Mike, only sending a letter or two until he completely cut himself off from him. He couldn’t deal with it- talking to Mike like everything was fine and normal. He still loved Mike, and in order to move on, he had to let go.

   He shouldn’t have.

   Because little did he know, he was the last thing Mike was clinging onto.
