It took Mike entirely too long to realize that everyone had forgotten.
To be fair, there was a lot going on. He had to take over most of his grandfather's duties on the farm, and it took up most of his time. He still drove them to treatments, did his best to hold them together as the news only got worse. In the empty moments—of which there weren't many—that he once would've spent with his friends, Mike spent at the library, continuing the project like Ben had suggested. It was honestly largely motivated by his dad as much as Ben; his dad had been amazing at essentially everything, managing to be an excellent farmhand as well as having an increased interest in history and volunteering at the library. He wanted to write a book. Mike could remember being a little kid curled up on his dad's lap, turning the heavy pages of the history books, pointing at the faded pictures, listening, enthralled, to his dad's stories about the early days of Derry, about his own childhood and young adulthood in Derry. It was one of the best memories he had of his dad; it made Mike feel kind of good, to be continuing his work in a way.
