i'm imagining bravebyers to be sort of angsty. like imagine if mike the brave was randomly dropped into hawkins right after the death of his beloved, will the wise. imagine will the wise using the last remnants of his power to send his lovely mike the brave to a safer world. and so mike the brave lands in epilogue hawkins, where he sees will. but it's not his will. and mike the brave accepts that. he thinks as long as this will is happy with this version of mike, i will be fine. but will isn't happy because mike (wheeler) is being a total idiot who won't confess his feelings. and so mike the brave decides to be a true paladin, and he brings byler closer together. he encourages mike to confess his love to will. if mike the brave cannot have his will the wise, he'll damn well make sure that byler can be together in another universe. in every universe. every universe but his own.
