You know what broke me down?
When eleven was stuck with vecna and mike was trying to find the words to say to her so she could come back to him, he obviously was about to give up but Will Byers went and told him 'don't stop, you are the heart' and mike found the words to say to her.
Mike found the words because he believes that eleven thinks he's the heart. He found the words because he believes that eleven created that painting for him and that Wills words were hers.
But Will Byers is a fucking hero. He saw that mike needed something to hold on to eleven and Will pushed on through and instead of admitting that he created the painting for mike, that he is the one that believes Mike is the heart, that he is the one afraid of losing Mike because he needs him, he decided to chip away more of himself and told mike that it was eleven.
And because Will decided to put his best friends and sisters feelings above himself, he gave mike the words that helped eleven who in turn found the strength to continue the fight.
So yeah Will Byers is a true fucking hero.
And that absolutely broke me down. How can a character continue to give and give and give and not feel any resentment for not receiving?
