Summary
The world is swaying dangerously in front of his eyes. He staggers forward and his hand scrambles for purchase on the rock’s face in an effort to keep himself up. Robin’s rambling about rabies, clearly panicking, and Nancy is tearing a piece of fabric off of her shirt, the sound of material ripping echoing in Steve's ears, and Eddie’s standing off to the side, chewing on his hair as he quietly freaks out.
Through the haze of pain, Steve realises that he’s happy they’re all there with him.
When he’d been writhing on the ground, slowly being choked to death, unable to scream through the searing pain of being torn into, he’d thought to himself:
This is it. I’m going to die alone.
Oxygen deprivation had made it difficult to think clearly, but all he could see in his mind’s eye were faces: Robin, Dustin, Nancy.
Eddie.
So much unresolved, so much left unsaid. In that moment, the dread that settled over him was heavy, suffocating: he was going to die before he even got a chance to make things right.Series
