Will's bond with his mother, Joyce Byers, stands out as one of the most heartfelt aspects of Stranger Things. Most children in Hawkins share a typical relationship with their parents, but what Will and Joyce have, is something far deeper and extraordinary. Joyce’s fierce protectiveness of Will is clear from the very start, especially when she stubbornly refuses to believe he’s lost forever after his disappearance in the first season. Not only does Joyce protect Will at all costs, but her unwavering faith in him provides a deep emotional foundation that sets him apart from the other kids.
