[ As Gareth manages to piece together all the weird shit that Eddie has learned to be true in the past few weeks, Eddie's eyes glaze over as he focuses on the dulling pain. He hopes that it's only dulling because Gareth has been patching him up, and deep in the recesses of his mind he can almost hear a frantic Robin worrying over Steve potentially having rabies.

He supposes that's now something Eddie has to worry about as well. ]

Yeah, trust me, I wish that weren't all true, but. I saw with my own eyes. I saw these people float above me, it's. [ He trails off as he gets a distant look in his eye, the images of Chrissy floating, Patrick floating, and the unnatural way their bodies were manipulated by a seemingly invisible force. ]

I know what I saw. And I know it sounds completely insane, but I really need you to believe me. Because the only other people who do know what's going on think that I'm dead and I need them to continue thinking that.

[ His voice cracks as he speaks, and as he talks about Steve, Dustin, and the rest of the party, he looks right at Gareth with a pleading look, his eyes shimmering with frustrated tears. ]
