This takes place amid a tense moment where the group confronts one of Vecna’s dreaded mental traps, the ruthless villain from the Upside Down. After Will’s confession, his friends, including Mike, embrace him. The creators confirmed that Will has been secretly in love with Mike.
"Mike has indeed been the person Will has loved secretly," the Duffer brothers said.
