Deerhunter #4

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2013)

Mike had no choice but to go back to Vietnam and find Nick. Before they went, Nick gave a little speech expressing that none of their friend group would ever leave one another behind. The harsh nature of battle left Mike a little scrambled mentally as he showed when avoiding going straight home when he first got back so he clearly still had the tragedies of war on his mind. Another reason he went back was for a sense of closure seeing how the last time Mike saw Nick, he was indeed alive and then the money that was coming to Steve from Nick acted as the road flare to Nick's life. On top of the friend to friend obligation comes the more complicated affair including Nick's girlfriend Mike's desire for her. Mike plays his life by the books so he couldn't succumb to his inner desires of taking Meryl's side until he knew that Nick was no longer in the picture. - Adio
