   Summary

   Mike and Will have a long awaited conversation inside the Upside Down.

   Post volume 2 hopes for episode 8 because what the fuck what that?
   This is mostly written to help me grieve what could have been or what could be (I am going down with this ship). For anyone who joins me in that grieving process hope this finds you well (were all not I know). I also wrote this in a hour so be kind. One shot.
