#mike in 4x09: 'you were wearing that benny's burgers t shirt and it was so big it almost swallowed you whole...'

Me trying to explain that it's okay if Mike gets his head bit off bc Will has time powers and he'll be able to reverse it from ever happening:

Something about Mike’s speech to El in 4x09 and his speech to Will in 2x08 and how his story about El is all factual: you were wearing that yellow Benny’s Burgers t shirt, while his story about Will is almost entirely emotional memory: I felt so alone and so scared.

Something about how Mike’s speech to El sounds like it’s out of a movie - a little too much so - and his speech to Will had him crying and repeating “I asked - I asked if you wanted to be my friend” and “you said yes; you said yes”.

Something about how Mike talks about El as someone he “stumbled onto” and Will as someone he found.

Something about how Mike says meeting El ‘started his life’ but in his story about Will, he sets it up with “I just felt so scared and so alone” to tell him how he impacted him. How he was a comfort and a companion.
