[ eddie's weak grip is a constant reminder of things richie couldn't do to keep eddie safe, times he wasn't there, but it's also a reminder that he's here now, has been here before even, apparently.
and if the way eddie is speaking with such authority about the terror that richie had felt down in his marrow that day is anything to go by, he's gone through something similar with another him, another richie. his descriptions are far too on point for it to be anything else, really.
it... it doesn't make him feel any better about any of it. neither of them deserves half of what they've had to go through, together or alone, but it makes it easier, somehow, for him to talk about it now. ]
I just... I didn't want It to be the last thing you saw if we died.
