[He's not the only one terrified this is all a part of Vecna's game. She has no idea why he wants her, apart from the fact she's apparently an easy target. The movies had it right all this time. Cheerleaders are really easy prey. Especially ones with as many issues as she has. She spends her time here half afraid he'll show up and kill her again, and half afraid that he won't and everything else will disappear and she'll be left here alone.
Which makes grabbing hold of Eddie's hand bittersweet. She's grateful to have a friend here, especially one that's able to put her at ease the way he does. But she also doesn't want to drag him into any more of her messes. And this whole place?
It's a huge mess.
Her heart is pounding, and she has to press a hand over her mouth to muffle the sound of her panting as she tries to catch her breath. But she's quick to help him shove the shelf, and the second he suggests the back room she's nodding and hurrying through the store.]
We need a minute to catch our breath. We can't —
[Ah, but then she spots it. A door to the back. She darts back over to Eddie and grabs his hand, tugging him behind her as she makes a beeline for that back room.
They could be sitting ducks here. But she goes inside and immediately begins to start shoving the wall shelf up against the door. She'd rather be trapped in here with no way in or out than leave the door unblocked.]
Maybe that will keep them away for a while.
[It's said as she slides down the wall to sit on the floor. She's exhausted.]
