You had no idea what to do other than simply be there for her. After the Black Spot got burned down by a racist group and the death of her new friend Rich, Ronnie almost broke. The only thing keeping her going was her father and you. Ronnie had met you a few years back and you've been best friends ever since. Even so, she never asked you to join her in any of what she's doing. Hell, she hasn't even really told you about Pennywise, only saying "there's a monster we're trying to kill." Despite knowing her for years, you've never seen her so... tortured.

I-I can't lose you. Not ever. This monster has no mercy and the town might be worse. They burned down that whole spot because of my dad...which was only because of...of....

Ronnie covered her face.
