max saying "it's like [vecna] only sees the darkness in us" because vecna brings up their worst moments and thoughts and reduces them to just that without ever giving them a chance to be more, heal, or see otherwise, essentially snuffing out all the light in their lives until they're weak and isolated enough that they have no choice but to succumb to the dark

vs

mike showing will his darkness (expressing his insecurities, worries, and being vulnerable in front of him) and will shining a light on all of the things he loves about him (you're not some random nerd; you're the heart; you're our leader that guides and inspires us), reminding him of the good that he's done (that was you guys that saved me) and the good he can still do (whatever you didn't say, you can say it to her then), essentially dispelling mike's darkness by reminding him of his own light
