❪ there's a silence on eddie's part as he listens. when it came to what happened underneath derry there was a point where his memories fade and black out. he imagines it likely had to do with the forty seconds or so of being legally dead that richie mentions. ❫

I can't pretend to know what you felt at the time or even what it's like to make a decision like that. ❪ as he said, richie risked everything and everyone for him. while he, on the hand, only knew that he could die if it meant saving his friend. was that selfish though? he isn't sure. ❫

But I know that I'm happy now, here, with you.
