I still need this to happen
the thought of everyone trying to save will from vecna with the wrong song will be my hope /every/ single time. its such a great idea and perfect symbolism to how distant hes become to everyone. the idea that instead of all the good memories he has with his friends, it just plays all the /bad/ ones over a song hes grown out of. over should i stay or should i go. the song that, yes, helped him through the upside down but in the grand scheme of things now, is just the anthem of his sorrow and trauma.
another thought being that jonathan angrily puts boys dont cry into the walkman, noticing how little his best friends actually know about him. jonathan possibly even making a comment directly to mike about how hes needed him all this time and how he failed him. how jonathan had to go out of his way to tell will to “have fun” at the roller rink bc he knew how badly he was being left out. just jonathan best big brother, essentially.
