(206): No, handcuffs and friendship bracelets are not "basically" the same thing.

OMG I DIDNT REALIZE thanks for playing with me!!

[disproof]

What does it mean to you to assume it's real? Would you want to know what happened if what you think turned out to be imagined?

right back at you!! i was so intrigued by the info i just had to go for it

[retraverse]

I guess
It sounds dramatic but I basically lived half a life for 30 years
Didn't think about my childhood, didn't think it was weird how much it didn't matter to me
The scar on my hand, my dad... All of it
Don't you think I deserve to know who the fuck I actually am? And why? Wouldn't anyone?

WELL IM GLAD I'm a big time IT fan so it wORKS FOR ME

[disproof]

Of course, you should know. All the more reason to involve unbiased minds in looking at the situation. If what you've remembered isn't reality, it can only be assumed that reality is equally traumatic.

The only way it changes your situation is that--if what you've remembered isn't reality--other people are still at risk.

YELLS delightful

I told you, the clown had this obsession with the seven of us because we fought back as kids
We wouldn't have survived if It wasn't really dead
You can't get any more final than crushing a heart in your bare hands

[disproof]

I'm going to play with the starting assumption that this really happened. You fought back as kids. You survived twenty-seven more years. You fought back as adults. Now you're surviving again.

You said this thing operates in cycles, correct? So who's to say the cycle isn't simply in an incubatory period now?

[retraverse]

Because we remembered this time
We forgot everything before. Not like how normal people forget stuff as they get older either
It was everything. About the town, that summer, our childhoods, each other
I was the first to move away, I forgot the most
But it's been months and it's all still there

And there's my dreams too

[disproof]

And what's your guarantee that this isn't just how it works? After a second exposure, you recall it. Or after being exposed as a result, your memory stays with you? How certain are you that the memories aren't affected by hormonal shifting, leading to a loss of prepubescent memory but permanence for memories formed in your adulthood?

[retraverse]

Can hormones make a 27 year old scar disappear
You can see it in an interview I did like two weeks before I left for Derry, now it's like it was never there

[disproof]

I'm not saying your scar didn't disappear. I'm not even contending to explain. I'm simply asking how you can be so sure that means everything is over.

[retraverse]

The scar was a promise and we kept it
It’s gone so it has to be over
None of us will make it another 20 years if it isn’t
It’s just a feeling. I just believe it down to my bones
Haven’t you ever just believed in something, Richard?

[disproof]

No, I never have.

I've never seen faith alone do anything but harm, Beverly. You asked what I thought.

[retraverse]

I know I did
I’m still not upset
And it’s okay if you don’t believe me
But you believe enough to check in on me while I’m up here
And belief is what killed It in the end
