Summary
"Will feels for Mike's situation, he really does. It's awful to lose a friend. Something terrible must have happened, too, if getting them back involves the Isle of the Blessed. An idea drifts lazily into his head, passing through like a faint whisper. He knows how to get to the isle. He has magic. He's already helping Mike escape execution, so why can't he do more? Why not join the Party?"
Or: Will agrees to guide the Party on their quest to the Isle of the Blessed to save their lost friend. Unbeknownst to Will, he is the friend.

Summary
One of Jonathan's first memories, albeit fuzzy around the edges, was of Will coming home from the hospital for the first time.
He was sitting wide-eyed on the couch, watching as Mom was gently led into the house by Lonnie. It was one of the rare times he'd seen Lonnie calm, maybe even loving, towards her. In Mom's arms, swaddled in a fuzzy yellow blanket, was a sleeping newborn baby.
The part Jonathan remembers clearly was his Mom placing that tiny yellow bundle in his lap. He remembers Mom shushing when the baby stirred, and the baby giving a quiet yawn before settling.
In that moment, at just four years old, Jonathan felt like he was holding the sun in his too-small hands.
That version of his little brother — tiny and wrapped in a yellow blanket — is what Jonathan sees flash before his eyes when Will suddenly collapses to the hard, sandy ground in the Abyss. Falling in time with the skeletal form of the Mindflayer.
*******
Or, five memories of Will that run through Jonathan's mind after the final battle is over, and one moment of deja vu.
