[ Eddie nods dutifully, hurrying up the stairs to her room. He spreads their loot across her bed, organizing their snacks until she joins him. It's a small feast they've gathered for themselves, and for as hungry as he is, it makes him even happier to see her eat them. There's something very weird going on at her house, and though he doesn't have a name for it, he knows that something is wrong. It's a different kind of wrong compared to his own household, and it makes him feel nervous.
But Chrissy's room is nice, comfortable, and once they start sharing crackers and cookies, he's able to stop thinking about it. Once all that's left is crumbs and a few shiny wrappers, Eddie is feeling full and content. He sweeps all the remnants into his backpack, and the two of them search for every crumb to make sure they gotten things cleaned up. He would never normally care about making sure he's left a place spotless, but Chrissy seems especially concerned. ]
Your mom sounds really weird. [ He admits it quietly once they've got the last remnants swept away. His own mom his gone, his dad angry and belligerent, and yet Chrissy's situation completely baffles him. ] I'm sorry she only lets your brother have the good snacks.
