Summary
"It's just..." He takes a deep breath, trying to transform his thoughts into at least somewhat coherent sentences. Mike waits, patiently, eyes never leaving Will's face. "Do you ever feel like... I don't know, like we missed out?"
Mike squints his eyes slightly, but it's not judgemental. "Missed out on what?"
OR
Will takes a trip down memory lane. Rather than getting caught up in what could've been, he decides him and Mike deserve to make some new memories - together.

Summary
The first time Will had been possessed, it had made itself apparent immediately.
It had literally ripped the air from his lungs, choked him with its presence as it fought its way into gaining control of his body.
This is probably why, as he desperately sought shelter from the completely average Indiana summer heat, feeling as if his flesh was being torn away from his very bones, Will realised two things.
First, he didn't know as much as he thought he did.
Second, he was possessed. Again.
OR
Will is possessed again, and Mike can't find it within himself to hurt him to save his own life.
