Will Byers To Sacrifice Himself In Stranger Things Season 5?

In the first five minutes of Stranger Things Season 5, it’s evident that Will is fully connected with Vecna and shares a connection with him. Due to this, it won’t be a surprise if Will decides to sacrifice himself to kill the evil force permanently. Even if Vecna dies in Season 5, a part of him may remain inside Will Byers, which makes it necessary for Will to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
