Summary
Richie doesn’t care about theoretical physics, doesn’t waste his time contemplating parallel lives and all the minute variations of reality that could exist in alternate universes, but he thinks if there are infinite versions of who they are, infinite versions of their lives, there’s got to be one where they get to be happy, where they get to love each other back with no strings attached.
(He doesn’t even question the idea of whether he’d love Eddie in every universe; it’s a fundamental fact of existence. Water is wet, grass is green, and Richie Tozier falls in love with Eddie Kaspbrak stealing his cigarette and stamping it out beneath his shoe.)
When Eddie’s a bit fuzzy about the date the next day, they put it down to the head trauma. He got stabbed in the face, and then the chest, and then thrown across a fucking rock cave before being dragged out of a collapsing structure by terrified, desperate people; there’s no surprise it’s having some impact.After two weeks pass, though, and Eddie still wakes up with a frown, thinking it’s June 1st, Richie’s heart sinks.
The universe has never cut them a break. Why would he think it would start now?
