   Summary

   Lucas doesn’t believe in coincidences. That much is a given. Most especially now that Max is still hospitalized, so he has more time to really observe the people around him and willingly take charge in uncovering certain mysteries smaller than the upside down and much closer to him than he thinks. He eventually starts picking up on things he’s always been skeptical of

   OR
   Sometime during the 18 months, Lucas is finally choosing to believe he’s in fact NOT crazy and that Mike Wheeler is exactly what Lucas has always thought he was (a homosexual)
