"Eds?!" Richie runs and collapses next to the small boy, who's right eye is swollen shut, and arms are covered in scratches and bruises. Richie cradles the boys face, his eyes full of worry.

"Eddie baby, who did this to you? Please, talk to me. Say something." Richie said, tears spilling down his cheeks as he looks to Bill for answers. Bill is already guarding the library doors, keeping an eye out for any unwanted visitors.

Eddie unexpectedly starts to scream, clawing at the person nearest to him. Richie releases Eddie, allowing him to press his back against the wall, his eyes still closed.

"GET AWAY FROM ME! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Eddie yells as Richie crawls to him, Eddies kicking legs catching against his body, hard.

"Eddie. Eddie Spaghetti, come on, it's me baby. It's okay, I'm here now", Richie wraps his arms around Eddie, holding him tightly against his body, "Eds, it's Richie. Open your eyes, you're safe now honey."

Eddies eyes fling open, wildly looking around his surroundings. Upon seeing Bill and the boy who's arms are around him, he calms down almost immediately. Richie has his aspirator ready, and Eddie takes it willingly, pushing the button down so his lungs could fill with air.

After a few moments of calm and stable breathing, he looks to Richie, his eyes still full of fear as he says one singular name.

"Henry Bowers."
