(The fierceness surprises Eddie too, but it does not scare him, weirdly enough. Maybe it's because he trusts Rogue enough by now to know she wasn't aiming to yell at him. He stares at her with glassy eyes, his breath a little hiccupy.
It was different. Being left in Its layer was....Cruel in a strange sort of way. If his friends had left him in a situation similar to Jean's abandonment, it'd be a lot easier to swallow. That couldn't be helped. It was awful and sad, but it wasn't leaving her body in a lair of fear and pain and death. A lair where dead children were kept, where haunts bred like bacteria.
And Eddie of all people to be abandoned...
He gives a shaky nod. The seriousness of her voice, and the use of his full name steady him some.)
I- I don't. (He sniffs quietly.) I never thought my friends would be so willing to ditch me. R-Richie tried to argue, but he gave up too. And when you leave Derry, you forget. So I know that...
(He would be forgotten. Completely. No one in the world would remember Eddie Kaspbrak. Maybe Myra, but he didn't care about that. He didn't know Myra, and he had seen his own loveless future with her.)
We stop being friends in the future. Only go back to Derry to kill It. I don't...I don't want that. I don't want my life to be so-. (Alone and miserable, and for it to end just the same.)
