Guys Will is going to die!!
We know that eleven hasn't been getting a lot of attention this season right? Why? Because she isn't going to die. The duffers keep throwing us off with the "eleven might sacrifice herself for the greater good of the world following kali's advice bullshit".
But who IS getting a lot of attention this season?Will!!
It's always been about will it started with will and it's going to end with will and the fact that will was in the center of that glass drawing dustin made aligning with the exotic matter circle and the fact that literally EVERYONE gave him a hug reinforced the idea that this might be a goodbye !! they just don't know it yet(so everyone stop saying that his coming out should've been an intimate moment).
Okay so ...here's why he's gonna die
The abyss is an alternate dimension that has been existing for probably millions of years it only started to be an evil dimension AFTER Henry created the mind flayer and connected all the various life forms through the hive mind because he saw it as a "better realm unspoiled my mankind" so it was his idea to bring or merge these worlds together! Otherwise the demos don't give a shit about hawkins. It was his grand plan and vision NOT the mind flayer's coz it didn't exist before him. So the solution is to cut all connection and sever the network by bringing the particles out of them. we know that this is possible from shock jock when we see the mind flayer particles are released from the demo.
Stay with me now... so here's how will plays a role here
The only person who made the mind flayer can un-make it and that is Henry. Ofc he's just not gonna do that ! but WHO is also sorta kinda vecna? Will! So in my theory when eleven is in the bath in vecna's mind, max tells eleven about his weaknesses aka the cave, el discovers the truth about the trauma (which i think is connected to the play (first shadow) or Henry's first murder is traumatic enough idk) and kali uses this knowledge to show a vision to Henry and make him face his fears ..while he's distracted will enters the pain tree along with some of the gang to save the kids and hold vecna physically from stopping them just like in shock jock.
Still with me? Good, Here's where byler comes in!
Henry resistes with all his might so Will needs Mike because he's at his strongest when he's thinking about Mike like episode 4. Mike is gonna give a big speech about how he is always going to there for will and address the painting and all that he's been bottling up just like his speech for eleven in the second 4 finale. And then (Reminiscent of the jayvik scene at the end of arcane) we'll finally get byler closure and will will finally be at ease and he decides that the only way to end this once and for all is to sever all connection and since he can siphon vecna's powers he'll use them against him and bring out all the mind flayer particles from every life form.
Okay okay ....To bring back the circle of exotic matter aspect
The only way to destroy mind flayer particles is to send them in the void outside the wall where it cannot be used by any human or psychic ever again and I think will is going to absorb all the particles inside him since he's permanently changed after season 2 it won't be that hard for him I imagine. And then after the gang rescue all the kids and safely go back to the right side up will stays behind with the bomb and stays at the exotic matter and detonates the bomb destroying the wall the bridge himself and the mind flayer particles sending them into the void. And since the wormhole is destroyed, the particles stay in the vacuum. So that way no matter how many elevens Kay makes (though i doubt that she will coz she's either getting killed or just runs away like a coward) she can't use the demos in war against the Soviets since they can no longer be controlled through the hive mind.
Then it cuts to an epilogue. And all loose ends are tied with our main cast and mike has the painting framed in his room.
Idk maybe I'm crazy but this seems highly likely 🤧 tell me what you guys think.
