Mikey didn't come here to be called out, but he can feel himself deflating slightly. He doesn't want to give him, he doesn't want Rung to win.
He pulls his arms up to himself, his fingers fiddling together.
He doesn't like that everything Run just said about him is the first thing Mikey's willing to admit he's been right about so far.
"We're not talking about me," he says sharply. "I'm not stupid. Neither are my brothers. We know things are still dangerous, that there are problems we have to work through and others have to work through but we're all scared and Donnie over thinks things and I don't want him so scared that it's his own fear that..." he cuts himself off, refusing to finish the sentence. He refused to think that far. He was still here. He would keep both his brothers safe, just as they did for him and each other.
