They redid the van drawing to get it JUST RIGHT to show Byler endgame
In Stranger Things 4x9, look at the first shot of El describing her "piggyback"plan. The camera is zooming in. If the camera had kept zooming in, the two circled figures would have kept moving to the right, past Mike and Will:
But the next time we see it, the circle's directly between them, pairing Mike with Will and NOT with El. And they redid the drawing:
And judging from the style, it kind of looks like someone else drew it (not Millie), while the three of them posed in place.
The shot already strongly hinted at Byler endgame. But this shows they put extra, meticulous effort into it. They absolutely wanted to circle Mike and Will.
Just like the final shot of s4, there's NO explanation for this, but to hint at Byler endgame.
(I keep seeing fear we might be queerbaited. But this is NOT effective queerbaiting. It doesn't titillate or advertise itself to draw in LGBT+ fans; it's purely symbolic and for obsessive people like us lol. This is what preparing a plot twist looks like: the clues are SUBTLE so most people miss them, and only become clear after the big reveal.)
