If Mike lied and El heard Will then the only person who took that speech as romantic was Will and that is just PEAK unreliable narrator my GOD.

#stranger things #povs #byler #byler options #el and mike are unknowingly on the same page both knowing those words are platonic/bs meanwhile will is in the back like #they're so in love :'( #while mike cries in distraught over his crushing guilt and el uses her anger towards this to save max #and will is like #wow can't believe the power of their love did it :'( #the reveal that the ga were in will's pov the entire time is going to be SO sweet though my god #bc ppl have a tendency to think they're immune to the puppetry that is cinematography but no one is baby #not unless you stop and think through it first impressions always manipulated #'i felt hope because will was feeling false hope then i returned to the objective view that it's not there' #no babe you felt hope because it slipped through to will because of how overt mike was being then you returned because he crushed it in #himself.
