[ eddie's mind always clings to the negative, to the pessimistic side of it even when he wants to hold on to that dose of anything else. it takes being angry about it to get him to act, to turn it from a thing weighing him down into something he's standing on top of.

he's not angry right now. not now when the grief still drags him down, a stone attached to his neck.

buckley's speech is, ultimately, something that has him looking at her with forehead creased and a bit of disbelief because, honestly, what choice did eddie have but to follow? it was mordor or prison. maybe worse, given he thinks the people of hawkins would totally metaphorically sacrifice him like the figures in the play. maybe literally, if carver has his goddamn way. he's not stupid enough to think that he had an alternative that ended better.

he's alive at least, for now. unless they're all vecna'd and dead. ]


Buckley... I am not going to bullshit you, you lost me along the way there. Somewhere between Hawkins selling us short and the antonym bit.

I'm pretty sure I'm not stoned enough for this. But I'll give you this one on technicality. [ he says with a wry smile, a barely there thing, which looks displaced because they're both crying still. he doesn't believe her, not in his heart of hearts, but she's on to something. maybe. he rubs his face too, leans a bit closer so their shoulders bump. proximity helps, honestly. he feels a bit better. ] I remember thinking how fucking nuts it all sounded when you guys were trying to convince me that finding Vecna and killing him before anyone found me was the easy option. Totally doable. Even though you guys dealt with him literally melting people before.

But then here we are, huh. Upside Downed again, or something, in fake Italy. But not melted so that's something, yeah? [ and isn't he suddenly a ball of jokes and sunshine through the tears? ]
