   Summary

   Mike Wheeler is in shambles. He didn't realize that going to therapy would open up wounds that never healed. He hadn't realized that spending most of his adolescence fighting cosmic entities, and saving the World would be so traumatic. Even after all these years, here he was sitting on brightly colored couches crying his eyes out. After his first true heart felt session. His “Best friend” that he lost years ago reappears into his life. Mike has to make a decision: does he want to truly live his life or would he rather die a lonely man?
