(Eddie wasn't going to abandon his relationship. He wants to know more, wants to understand better, but he doesn't doubt Chara. He knows adults and how they functioned too well by now. While the adults in this place seemed good, seemed genuine and honest people, Eddie would always have some gut-deep cautionary feeling towards them.
It did not help that his mother's brand of cruelty was cloaked as kindness. Eddie's perception of adults is severely warped. He doesn't know what a healthy relationship with one should even look or feel like.)
We aren't.
(Eddie has felt power before, but it has been rare.)
I don't know. I never knew him before. I know he's been kind to me and really helped me when I needed it. And I do care a lot. But I know what adults are like too.
I don't know. Maybe adults can change. I've never seen it happen, but I've also never seen stuff like space travel either and here we are.
