School has been hard ever since the SQUIP incident, but Jeremy is ready to unwind when Thanksgiving break comes around. Jeremy feels like he should be happy. He just got with the girl of his dreams, got his best friend Michael back, and got rid of the SQUIP. But Jeremy still feels like a part of him is missing.
Michael, throughout the SQUIP Jeremy and Christine's relationship, has still managed to come through it. He can barely stand to see Jeremy with another girl, still, especially after liking him for almost 8 years. He is never able to let go of his feelings, even after almost a decade of doubt.
Throughout the break, Jeremy and Michael go through hundreds of thoughts, and Jeremy has to decide "What is Michael Mell to him?"
