(Maybe it was wrong to victimize themselves in a situation where they had hurt others. But it really hadn't been like either of them. There had been some cruel, evil hold over them, poisoning their common sense and both of their natures. Richie's right. Deerington is a lot like Derry.
Sometimes Eddie thought it was because he was here. If this thing was a dream and he was connected to it, but still technically back in Derry, then maybe some of Derry lifted up into Deerington too.
Eddie grows very still and completely silent when Richie talks about the adults.)
I said we can trust them, yeah. But I never meant...as much as you could trust a Loser. All I ever meant was that they're the kinda adults who would want to help us. And that's what they tried to do. (Look at where it got them all. Granted, anyone who truly knew Eddie Kaspbrak would have known how obvious a trap the video had been. They would know that Eddie would of never called on adults for help. They would have known that Eddie somehow never got lost.
They would have known that it would have taken a lot more than a fucking maze and some psycho kids to split him up from one of his best friends.
But he knows what Richie is saying. He's rolling back over onto his belly and putting his head down into his arms, shrugging his shoulders in a small kind of way.)
...Dunno. Don't think there's anything we can do. They'll probably just hate us and that's just gonna be how it is even if we did try and make it up. (Eddie sounds kind of miserable. It actually sounds a little bit like he might be crying too, but it's impossible to tell with his face in his arms.)
What else is new? Adults find whatever excuse they can to hate a kid and we basically just gave them a totally valid reason on a silver fucking platter.
(That's the worst part too. Eddie really couldn't blame anyone of the adults they killed or attacked for hating them. He picks his head up out of his arms finally, and his eyes are wet, but he doesn't seem to be actively crying yet.)
We should probably just pray for forgiveness and hope to God maybe one of them realizes that it really wasn't something we wanted to do. I wouldn't really want to hear an apology either. And I sure as fuck wouldn't want to hear it from someone who hurt you. (Eddie isn't saying that to be sentimental. He means it with a very real awareness of the fact that those people they hurt? They probably had people who cared about them too who had to discover that they died or were hurt by a couple of kids who cried wolf.)
