[Bill is quiet for a while. He steps past Eddie into the room without a word, and moves straight to the writing, standing before it, his eyes tracing each letter and his fingers ghosting just above each word and name.
He stops occasionally, first at the reminder meant for Eddie himself, then at the promise, and finally at the list of their names. With calm fingers and steady limbs he crouches and rests his hand besides Georgie's name. When his eyes reach IT he stands back up and turns to Eddie, moving over and pulling the smaller boy back into his arms in a tight hug.]
As long as we're all t-together, Eddie, I don't care w-where I stay.
