Idk If Anyone Else Has Pointed This About Before -- After Getting Bullied At Rink O Mania, El Hides In

Idk if anyone else has pointed this about before -- After getting bullied at Rink o Mania, El hides in the Employees Only room, where she crouches next to a fake red airplane and a rolled up carpet with a pattern that could represent stars or Christmas lights. Wonder if this has anything to do with "you can fly, you can move mountains" cause that line is weird asf nd im trying to piece it together. Perhaps "flying" is just a word used to show her personal independence, freedom, and strength against oppressive/abusive people in her life? And how her finding her strength will always have implications for her connection to the upside down (the christmas lights).

The airplane is also red, and Will's painting has a red dragon (dragons fly too) -- perhaps reinforcing the connection between El and Will somehow through this idea of flight. [[Also, the sort of Christmas light-type lighting comes up several times in the season, I'll probably talk about that another time.]]
