Stranger Things- Will Coming Out

I am... I am different

I just.. I just pretended like I wasn't because.. because I- I- I didn't wanna be

I wanted to be like everyone else, I wanted to be like my friends, and... and I am like you

I'm like you in- in almost every way

we- we like playing D&D late into the night, and- and we like that old person smell in Mike's basement

and we.. we like biking to Melvald's for malted milkshakes, and we like getting lost in the woods, and.. and getting lost in family video, and- and arguing about what to rent and …

and.. and we like Milk Duds in our popcorn with extra butter! And we like drinking coke with- with PopRocks, and we like bike races and- and trading comics, and- and NASA, and Ste…

I- I- just... I...

I- I- I don't like girls

[SILENCE] .... (Will sighs)

I mean- I mean I do just.. just- just not like you guys do

And I uh- I had this- this crush on- on someone, even tho I know.. I know they're not like me

[whimpering] But- but then I realize he's- he's just my Tammy, and- and by Tammy I mean it was- it was never about him, it was- it was about me

and- and I thought I was finally okay with myself, but.. but- but then today

Today Vecna showed me what would happen if- if I did this, if I- if I told you guys.. the truth

he showed me a future, and.. and in this future, some of you are just- are just worried for me

worried that- that things will be harder for me and it- it just makes me feel like something's wrong with me

So- so I push you away, and- and for the rest of us, we just.. we just drift apart more and more (etc.) until- until I'm alone

And I know none of that has happened, and- and Vecna can't see into the future but- but he can see into our minds and- and he knows things, and it just- it just felt so real

It- it- it felt so real [whimpering]

Will, you gotta listen to me. It will never ever happen. You'll never lose me

...Ever

[crying] okay.. okay..

And you'll never lose me

[gasping and crying]

or me

or me

..or me

or me

[crying] or me
