   Summary

   After El's disappearance, Mike struggles to come to terms with what it means to only realise you didn't love someone when they are already gone and you can't talk to them about it anymore.
   But time passes as it always does, and Mike finds that the answers to all his questions have always been right in front of him in the form of one Will Byers.
