[ he gets the words out with only a little difficulty. it feels like his throat's closing up; his eyes are burning because he doesn't want to let the moisture collecting at the corners of his eyes turn into actual tears. the realization of what they had - what they were - should be happy, but all he can feel is pain.
was this his fault? what happened? after that last summer together...
he's driving away and eddie isn't there

he passes the bridge where he'd carved their initials and they're faded

- and then the memories run out, like a film reel with nothing left on it. just a whirring machine with no purpose, nothing to show. ]
