    Summary

    “You can keep flapping, or whatever it was you were doing when I came in,” Will says. “You don’t need to hide that from me. It’s not like I didn’t see it when we were kids.”

    Oh. That. Mike doesn’t do that anymore. He’s not supposed to. It was childish even then, at the ripe age of eight. That’s what his mom and teachers said, at least. They’d make fun of him for all sorts of stuff— fidgeting, rocking, chewing on his fingers. He’s grown up now. He doesn’t need it.

    Will must read the hesitation on his face, because he nudges his shoe again. “Come on. I know you want to. It always used to help when you were upset like this.”

    Mike doesn’t understand why he’s suddenly lost all control over his thoughts and actions. Will seems to know Mike’s habits better than he himself does.

    Summary

    "Mike has been acting… weird. Cheerful, almost, in a way Will hasn't seen him since before Eleven died. Since before everything happened. 

    He's more carefree now, like the world won't collapse around him if he says or does the wrong thing. 

    It should be good that he's finally moving on, but it's unnerving, to say the least, and Will has a strange feeling settling in the pit of his stomach."

    Or

    Mike is extremely depressed and planning on doing something about it, but doesn't account for Will finding out about it.
