Summary
In the aftermath of the failed and then corrected spell, Peter Parker is trying to figure out how to move on. Ned and MJ will never remember him, and he's coming to terms with that. But he still has his MIT enrollment somehow, so he might as well go and make a life for himself there. Maybe he can have a proper fresh start.
Tony Stark turned Harley Keener's life around, made it mean something. In the wake of Tony's death, Harley has to figure out how to do it all on his own, how to honour the legacy left behind. He heads to MIT, thanks to the college fund Tony left for him, and resolves to figure it all out. When Harley makes his first visit to Tony's memorial statue on campus, he sees a strangely familiar face. He remembers that boy from Tony's funeral, and yet knows absolutely nothing about him.
