Summary
“I suspected.” Mike admits. His free hand twitches at his side, picking nervously at his frayed cuff. “I guess I didn’t… know. Not exactly. But…” he draws back slightly, feeling that he needs to look her in the eye. “At the same time, I kinda did. Does that make sense?”
Joyce’s pained features soften as she regards him with unbridled affection. “Yeah, Mike.” She whispers. “It makes perfect sense.”

Summary
After Vecna's curse is unleashed onto Hawkins, the town has been placed under government lockdown as the contagion continues to spread. Everyone’s been forced to the margins as they try to pick up the pieces. Maybe it's the swirling spores in the atmosphere or the grief that seems to linger everywhere, but it feels like everyone's haunted by something.
Everyone except Mike, that is. He's the heart, right? He's keeping it together.
He's the only one acting normal.
