   Summary

   “Never change, Dustin Henderson. Promise me?”

   “Wasn’t planning on it.”

   Eddie had paused for moment, taking in Dustin’s face, studying his features, like it was the last time he’d ever get to.

   “Good.”

   It had felt so final. Dustin hadn’t realised that at the time. He’d felt weird after Eddie had said it but he couldn’t put his finger on why, but that was it. The finality of it. The goodbye he hadn’t even known he was receiving.

   OR: Dustin spirals about Eddie's death and comes to a harrowing conclusion. Steve catches him.
