Summary
" From what Priya could see of her, Filly looked exhausted. Her long black hair looked greasy and unkempt, her brown eyes were sunken and lacked the usual light they held, and her lips were chapped and bitten, bright red in some places, as if they were still bleeding.
"What're you doing here?" Filly asked quietly, looking at Priya then looking down to her bag and back up at her.
"Uhm, I wanted to hang out, I brought some food?" Priya said, holding up the bag and smiling sheepishly. Filly stared at her for a few seconds before opening the door and stepping aside to let her in. "

Summary
The nurse, or warden, or whoever she was cause Will really didn't fucking care, stopped outside the room and unlocked it. Room number 11, of course. Will could throw up from the irony. He wasn't really listening to the nurse's instructions. He knew the drill by now, and his head was killing him, and all he wanted was to lay down and rest...
"Oh my god."
He stared wide eyed at the figure sitting on the other bed who had spoken to him. Mike fucking Wheeler.
"Of fucking course," Mike muttered, rolling his eyes and turning away from him.
"Nope." Will immediately turned around and tried to leave. "This isn't going to work."
"We have no other beds available, we're at full capacity," the nurse said.
"I can't stay here."
"We have no beds."
"So switch me with somebody else."
"It's already past lights out, nobody is moving until morning."
"Then send me to another fucking facility," Will said through gritted teeth.
...Anger, fear, trauma, grief. One turned to alcohol. One turned to drugs. Now, somehow, they've ended up sharing a room at the same mental hospital. Will and Mike are stuck, forced to work through their issues together, for better or for worse.

There was a moment of silence before she continued. "I'm living in Paris—for work. I can't… they won't let him leave the country, and I can't move back fast enough for it to matter."
Will felt his face pale. "What about your parents?"
"They don't want anything to do with him, not after—"
"Yeah, I heard. What about…"
"Will, there's no one else. I've tried."
"Nancy, I can't… I can't just—"
"Please. I wouldn't be asking if there was another option."
Will bit the inside of his cheek. "Okay."

Summary
It was easy to recall how Mike had been as a child: vibrant, bold, and loyal to a fault. Somewhere, lost to time or playing endlessly on sun-flared memories, was a version of Mike Wheeler that cradled hand-crafted toys like treasure. It was the Mike who had spent days on the frontline searching for Will, who had thrown himself into fire to shelter a terrified stranger, who lived in waiting room chairs and the threadbare blankets of Jonathan’s house. Who had brought Will back from the brink when no one else could, and who had gifted a joy to him that Jonathan had never seen before. A Mike who cared, above all else. Golden-tinged light.
Mike and Will, and a thread of missed signs.
