( This is objectively a terrible idea. Eddie doesn't have to help. He knows that if Steve is telling him the truth, he could endanger his life. But if Steve is telling him the truth, then that means that Steve's life is in danger with or without Eddie's help.

And Eddie, well...he wouldn't be able to sit by and let Harrington put his life in danger. If he ignores this and Steve doesn't show up at school the next day? Eddie would never be able to forgive himself, even if there is likely nothing he can really do to help. He has to try. )

( Yeah, he's really selling himself here. )
