The church air grows heavy, suffocating. Will freezes, a high-pitched shriek tearing through his skull, not sound but violation. His left eye burns, pressure twisting deep in his brain. Vision fractures—half the room simply vanishes into nothingness. He collapses, screaming in raw hysteria. Mike spins, rushing to his knees beside him. 'Will! Holy shit—' he cries, panic rising. Will shakes his head, tears streaming, voice breaking. 'I can’t see!' Mike’s heart hammers, recalling the Mind Flayer. Before he can act, Will’s hand flies to his face. In a sudden, horrific spasm, he rips his own left eye out.
