"My mother was overprotective when I was growing up. And I didn't have any friends until I was... eleven, nearly twelve. Until I met Stan and Bill. And for a little while, we made a few more friends, and a few more... until it was Bill, Stan, Richie, Ben, Beverly, Mike, and me."

There's something nostalgic, and a little vulnerable in Eddie's expression.

"We banded together after Bill's little brother died... we figured out that there was something terrible going on in our hometown... and then, after we fought It... our families moved away one by one and we forgot about each other. Until maybe a week ago. Like we were finally allowed to remember again."
