Summary
After playing his part in preventing the end of the world, Mike thought senior year would be a piece of cake. Compared to fighting monsters and keeping government secrets, how hard could it be to deal with regular family drama, looming college decisions and his suddenly blaring obsession with staring at his best friend?
It's a gradual realization that he may have never wanted the things he thought he did一and some things, he may have wanted all along.

Summary
A distant gaze forms on Nancy’s face, and she turns to look at Mike with those watery, haunted eyes. There’s something about the look in Nancy’s eyes that is so eerily familiar, and Mike shudders as his brain makes the connection as to what.
“And he’s not going to stop, Mike. Not until… until he’s taken everything… and everyone.”
“You… you don’t understand,” Nancy whispers, her voice cracking. Never once do her eyes leave Mike’s, even as they fill with fresh tears. “It’s already begun… The… the beginning of the end.”
Or:
In the direct aftermath of his return to Hawkins, Mike and the Party find themselves in the midst of a war against One and the forces of the Upside Down. As life as he knows it changes, Mike must find a way to navigate his friendships, his relationship with Will, and most importantly, his understanding of himself.

Summary
“And us?” Will challenges. He looks Mike directly in the eye, nearly taking Mike’s breath away once again. Mike’s heart races inside his chest.
“We’re friends,” Mike says defensively. The implications of Will’s words aren’t lost on him, so for good measure, Mike emphasizes, “We’re friends, Will.”
“Yeah well, we used to be best friends, Mike!” Will shouts, and his voice cracks again.
Or:
In the aftermath of the Battle of Starcourt, Owens immediately sends the Byers and El away from Hawkins with specific instructions to not contact anyone until things have cooled down. Now, nearly two years later, Mike finds himself in California for what will either be the best—or the worst—spring break of his life.
