Everyone is so heartless, and unforgiving, that life almost doesn't seem worth living.

You were there, you had the hat, you did the job. That was a basic rule of witchery: It's up to you.

Remember. Mike was single here. Mike was single and thought he was gonna stay single here.

Mike was single and thought he was gonna stay single and thought he was gonna be single when Will moved when he prompted him not to replace him. Remember.

To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives.
— Howard Zinn

Do you believe it's ever truly possible to understand another's experiences, to walk in their shoes, or are we all too wrapped up in out own problems to see life from their point of view?

"We saw the fire--" Carrot began, running up. "Is it all over?"
"Mr. Vimes saved the day!" said Sergeant Colon excitedly. "Just went straight in and saved everyone, in the finest tradition of the Watch!"
"Fred?" said Vimes, wearily.
"Yessir?"
"Fred, the finest tradition of the Watch is having a quiet smoke somewhere out of the wind at three a.m. Let's not get carried away, eh?"
Terry Pratchett, Jingo

Thinking again about Mike really thinking he had a chance and that it was finally gonna happen and be okay and when Will tapped him on the shoulder, having some comfort because Will always helps and Will is his person, and he needs his person right now so it brings him comfort whatever Will is going to say. And then what Will says is "I'm not your person. I never will be. You have to do it. Do it."
Tumblr media
Thinking again about how the most heartbreaking thing is expectation and the idea not only of general expectation that Mike had but expectations he had in that moment for what Will was going to say. His expectation would have been that Will would make it better or at worst not change it. He would have never expected Will to make him feel worse.
The worst part of this image is the surprise. Will's heartbreak was resigned and regretful. But Mike never saw his coming. Mike, for the first time, let his guard down to not see it coming. He just let it down. It was FULLY up 7 episodes earlier. I can handle the sadness. I can handle anguish. I can't handle the surprise. I can't handle the confusion.
He really thought they were gonna fix it together.

"Lies are often much more plausible, more appealing to reason, than reality, since the liar has the great advantage of knowing beforehand what the audience wishes or expects to hear." Hannah Arendt.
