Summary
All in all, these five months and two weeks had completely, entirely, and unequivocally been the best time of Will's life.

Will’s face broke into an uncertain smile. “Mike…”
“I came here for the Will Byers New York experience,” Mike said, earnestly. “Am I going to get it, or what?”
Mike visits Will in New York and realizes a few things.
