Speaking of numbers, still puzzled as to why Brenner mentioned 6 (and he says "six" twice, s1e8). cryptic no.

Construction/destruction

I absolutely love the "Buried Memories" scene with El and Papa.

"Papa" tells El that she has repressed trauma, and demons from her past are "invading from [her] subconscious".

Thing is, I'm absolutely confident that El is a part of Will and has Will's memories. Why? MANY reasons but for one, we cut from El tapping into her traumatic past memories to...

A construction worker.

Who is associated with construction?

Lonnie.

I've brought this up many times before but I cannot emphasize how significant this clue is. Larry is basically the same name as Lonnie, they are both nicknames of Laurence. Will only "vaguely" remembers the construction guy aka his own father due to the extremely traumatic memories.

(While possessed by the MF (father) Billy says "we've been building it". Also, the "source" in ST3 happens to be a steel factory...)

Lonnie "builds" in a destructive way. He hammers wood right in the entry point for Will to return to the right side up. He "builds" to destroy.

Will also builds! But the way he does it is to provide protection. He drew then created.

The protection he built is later destroyed when "he" (Demogorgon/MF/Deep Father/Lonnie) returns...

The construction worker we see after El taps into the repressed memories says "I'm taking five" and he is told "You just took five."

Obviously on the surface he is just simply saying that he's taking a break. But, as we know with ST, there's a deeper meaning here.

I think this relates to...

"It was a seven. The Demogorgon, it got me."

(See that "7" on the top left when that line is said...)

I've said this before but I do strongly believe this is a coded message he's telling Mike about his past. "Friends don't lie" is such an important aspect to their friendship. Will is terrified of the truth of what happened to him, but he doesn't want to lie by omission to Mike. He trusts Mike enough to tell him the truth... but the message is "sensitive", he tells it in a coded way. That's why Mike is confused.

Will was twelve years old when he said this and when he vanished.

12 - 7 = 5.

That's why I think he said "it was a seven". Something awful happened to him when he was only 5 years old (in 1976). This is likely why we are apparently getting a flashback scene when he was that age...

The Demogorgon/construction worker/Lonnie kidnapped/took Will away when he was five years old. He apparently already took a five too which is interesting...

This makes me think:

Lonnie kidnapped Will at five years old. Will managed to escape and protect/defend himself... he ward off the "evil spirits". Then he was kidnapped a second time.

I truly, TRULY do not know how to say this, because the fact that I have to say it makes me feel like I am losing my grip on reality. But no, in the post-capitalistic anarchist utopia, I will not be relying on “autistic minecraft girlies” to be building inspectors because - and this may shock you - one of those occupations takes years of education in how to read and interpret hundreds of thousands of lines of regulations based on complicated math and physics that were the result of decades of tragedy and death, and the other one involves playing a children’s video game.
