Richie looks up at Cayde and offers him a smile. Is this what therapy is like? Maybe he should have listened to fucking everyone when they said he should go. Either way, Cayde seems to get it in a way Richie isn't used to. Not even from the other Losers.
They all survived, too, but they got out better for it. Bev and Ben had each other and a new life together. Mike was free and able to live for the first time. Bill could go home to his wife and move on from the shadows of his past. But Richie? Richie had left the only person he'd ever loved in a sewer and had nothing to go back to but a career he'd spent his life on and the lies he'd built it on.
He survived but it was a burden, not a badge. And getting through that? Yeah. Maybe that was something... Maybe him carrying on said something about him that wasn't 'You're a piece of shit' for a change.
"Yeah," he agrees, sipping again. "Messed up company is right. But it's nice to have people who understand."
