Will: "If [I] was going to lose you, [I'd] rather get it over quick, like ripping off a Band-Aid."
The Upside-Down rift was covered by a "giant metal Band-Aid" – until it was ripped off by the demogorgons.
If Will was gonna lose Mike this season, it would've been right there at the MAC-Z, when he saw through the demo's eyes as it tried to kill him.
...But Will stopped it from happening. He chose not to lose Mike, and he's not gonna lose him again.
