   Summary

   Mike is getting discharged from the hospital today. He has nowhere to go, with his mom still in recovery and unable to take care of him, and with Holly being so traumatized after Vecna. Not to mention Nancy is dead.

   Joyce offers to house him in her new place. Mike suffers with the choice. With being in a house that felt wrong, with dealing with everything Vecna and the final battle left him with.

   He never stops wanting to go home.
