and how that warmth vanished for the others when they left derry. but it never vanished for mike.

thinking about how mike hanlon must have ached, wanting to call them so much during the near-three decades apart, but knew logically that he couldn’t. because he knew they’d think It was back. knowing that they forgot him, not of their own volition, but because of the wretchedness of derry’s curse. it’s comforting some nights, but other nights mike can do nothing but stare at the photos the seven of them took in that photo booth.

mike hanlon being the outsider again, trapped in derry without the friends that gave life its meaning. and still staying, because of the immeasurable love he had for those friends. because of an oath he made to protect them.

and because of him, they all get a happy ending. he finally gets to leave his childhood home, his trauma, and make his own adventure, his own life. knowing that his friends are always there for him. and they’ll never forget again. all thanks to mike and his love.
