Looking back up, Mikey has so many questions. Mainly how Donnie got the new strange layer. But before he can, the arm is back in Donnie's lap and he asks a question that shatters what's left of Mikey's carefully crafted reality.

Mike's face crumples and he takes a step back.

"You know." he says, because for once, he wants Donnie to be able to lie.
