    Summary

    "We're basically a cover band, but Mike’s actually been doing a bit of songwriting as well. And we want to debut his first song tonight for you guys before we go. So forgive him for slowing things down and getting sappy."

    What is happening?

    Mike wrote a song?

    A slow song?

    A sappy song?

    Oh god. A wave of sickness stirs in his gut.

    He's been writing songs for El… that's what this is.

    Or: The one where Vecna was defeated in Season 4, nobody died, Hellfire is a band, and Mike Wheeler can't stop writing love songs.

    Summary

    Despite its emptiness, the Upside Down was not completely silent. It was full of strange echoes, rustling sounds and faint footsteps that never materialized. The effect was eerie and unnerving, and something instinctual inside of Mike screamed for him to get out now, warning him that he was prey in a place like this. But he couldn’t leave.

    Not without Will.

    When Vecna takes Will from Mike’s bedroom, Mike will stop at nothing to get him back, no matter the personal cost.
