the fact that in season 5 finale, you can see the exact moment that mike realizes what el is gonna do, and every step of progress, every single growth is erased and he just becomes a scared kid again, crying and begging el not to leave.
the season 1 and season 5 parallels will never fail to make me sob. his scream from season 5? the purple rain scene? cinematic masterpiece. oh mileven you were everything.
