#van script

will: eI is gonna be okay.

mike: yeah, im actually not worried about that at all right now, im literally thinking about all the reasons we just don't work.

will: i am the most selfless person alive so im just going to try to reassure you using my feelings but replacing my name with hers, maybe that'll make you feel better and i can get my feelings off my chest even though it's killing me inside.

i'm SO LATE to the van script but the most shocking thing in this whole thing is this line right here and the fact that noah didn't even say it.

they 100% took this line out of the show because it's so obvious. this line could pass as will still talking about el but he basically breaks character and says directly to mike that losing him would hurt too much. if will actually said this line to mike then i'm sure that it would've finally clicked for mike that will was talking about himself. but the duffers are probably saving the realization until s5 so they had to make it way less in your face.

also the fact that mike got emotional over will's monologue? like ik will is talking about el but it's the fact that he's talking about himself and it's coming from him. and mike is getting emotional over that.
