Summary
It is not the Todd Anderson of Welton sitting there on that hospital cot, with his uniform blazer two sizes too big and his tie all disheveled. It is twenty-seven year old Todd Anderson, who has shed both his babyfat and meekness for a lean, manly confidence. His jaw is sharp and his cheekbones are prominent, and, to make matters impossibly worse, he has gained the startling ability to grow facial hair.
It would take a blind, foolish man not to recognize that he is handsome now. Grown-up.
Doctor Neil Perry can’t breathe.
Volta (n.) A rhetorical shift or change. When a poem takes a dramatic turn into revelation.

Summary
“Why didn’t you leave a note?” Todd wonders, and he can feel Neil watching him like hawks do field mice but being caught feels a little like being saved.
His voice sounds wretched. “…I don’t know.”
Todd thinks about Keating’s hands on his eyes, spinning around the classroom, forcing the poetry out of his stammer. It seems he can only find the right words to say within dizzying darkness. “Do not go gentle into that good night, Neil,” he breathes, waxing poetic because what else is there to do? “Rage.”
"Run away with me."

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
Will reached into the back pocket of his jeans and pulled out a small pouch. It looked almost ridiculous: soft pink fabric, faintly sparkly, and just sheer enough that the contents were visible through it, revealing several neatly rolled joints inside.
Mike’s eyes lit up immediately at the sight. “Holy shit.”
Will held it up between two fingers like a magician revealing a trick. “Jonathan insisted we needed it after midterms. Gave it to me for free, said it was a gift.”
.........or: Mike and Will smoke weed while they fuck.
