[Richie's words sound foreign, as though he's speaking in tongues and nothing he's saying is registering in Eddie's mind. Was Pennywise truly dead this time round or was this just more wishful thinking? IT wasn't of this world, it could easily be reborn or worse.
But Eddie is tired, all the Losers are and Richie of all people wouldn't lie to him about the death of all their childhood trauma.]
G-gone?
[The desperation leaks into the hope of his question while those large eyes still swirl with both worry and slight fear. His hand grips a little tighter with Richie's and after a moment he closes his eyes.]
It's dead.
[Words spoken out loud because Eddie needs to hear it again, he needs to believe it.]
I-I want to leave, Richie. I don't want to be here anymore. [Killer clown or not, Derry was still fucking Derry.]
No worries!!!
