(Sometimes Eddie wondered if this was why he died when they came back to fight IT as adults. If their belief hadn't been as strong. Not all of the Losers had made it out that second round. Eddie nods at Majima, because it sounded as though he understood it.

It fell into the logic of the child who covered their heads with a blanket at night. Or depending on a night light to scare off the monsters. Stupid little traditions that kept the fear at bay. That kept IT at bay.

Something about what Majima says makes his chest feel warm and tight, and Eddie begins to smile. It was the first time, he thinks, that someone really understood the power in the Losers club.)


i think love has a LOT to do with it, yeah. i'd do anything for my friends. when im with my friends, i forget how weak i am or how sick i'm supposed to be. With them, I can literally be a totally different, better person.

It's incredible.

Yeah I dont think so.


(Eddie wonders idly if it was harder for adults to feel afraid if only because they felt like they were no longer allowed.)

IT scared me with two things. one thing was how im afraid of getting sick. like real afraid. the other thing

it was less of a fear and more of something i really hate about myself and something i was really afraid of other people knowing, and stuff i was just afraid of being a truth. it sounds really weird when i say it like that, but what I'm getting at is that IT works against you in really complicated ways. It isnt just ordinary fear. IT knows you better than your best friend probably does.

and thats the worst part I guess.
