   Summary

   William Byers finds himself back at Hawkins after an unclimactic three years in New York, unlike Mike’s ending for him Will never truly found acceptance in the ‘Big City’. Fortunately, his mother had mentioned to Karen Wheeler about his move back with Mrs Wheeler graciously offered up her home. But feeling like a burden to the Wheelers wasn’t his main concern, but the one letter Mike had sent to him during the first year in New York was.

   AKA

   Will is forced to face old feelings he had towards Mike.
   Does Mike actually reciprocate his feelings? Was Mike’s letter true or just fabricated bullshit?
