[ Steve winces at the graphic recount of Chrissy's death. He hadn't borne witness to the end of any of those that had been controlled by the mindflayer, unless you counted Billy being impaled. But that had been enough of a nightmare in itself, if only because Steve couldn't do anything to protect the kids from seeing it. Especially, Max.
There's a fire in Eddie's eyes that Steve knows a little too well. A threshold that's been crossed and can't be uncrossed again. An undoing that Steve's felt over and over and over again, ever since that night he'd stumbled on Nancy and Jonathan and the demogorgon. Steve takes in a shaky breath and nods, his fingers tightening on Eddie's shoulder. ] Yeah, I do. I really do. [ He pauses. He's not supposed to tell anyone anything he knows but this isn't just anyone. This is Eddie. His friend.] Eddie, listen. Maybe you should sit down. There's a lot I need to tell you.
