Then S4, Mike telling Will his fears.

"You're scared of losing her"

"You are going to be my spy one last time"

In the game Vecna is trying to break the core four, but he can't because El's presence gives them optimism and confidence.

In S5 Will is spying on his friends and finding their insecurities, so Vecna can break them and win.

So, Will The Spy definitely told Vecna about Mike's speech in the van, not knowing that he was lying, for the most part.

We know that Mike's biggest insecurity is not losing El, because of the same VR game.

Because Vecna tries it and it doesn't work on him

I think the MindFlayer knows about Mike and Will's feelings for each other.

We know that she kept them apart in S5 just like she did with Henry and Patty (or Bob 👀).

But I don't think Henry knows, because their love would make him remember his.

Mike and Nikki are the only ones with triangle freckles.

Tying them together through LGBTQ+ imagery. Nikki = Mike's queer alter ego?

Everyone else's freckles are square.

NOT A JOKE, THIS IS NOT JUST A COINCIDENCE. WHY ELSE WOULD THE WSQK PLAY ANGEL OVER THIS SCENE???BECAUSE THE SCENE THIS IS BASED ON HAS AN ANGEL. LAURA PALMER'S GUARDIAN ANGEL IS HER BEST FRIEND BTW
