It's not mocking or accusing, it's just simple truth, quiet and concerned. Because he remembers the tears and relief on her face after spending a short few minutes in a dark closet, remembers the way she balked at a simple closed door...he's still haunted by the way she whimpered his name as the Bad Man held her, promising to make her well, sensing the arrival of the demogorgon...
He knows what scares her. It's been five years, but some things never go away.
Maybe she thinks she'll be okay, but Mike isn't taking any chances. Huffing, he pulls her in and kisses the top of her head.
"Well, now I'm definitely gonna be on the show. No way I'm letting you do it alone..."
