eddie munson, who doesn’t really have any female family members in his life and not many girl friends, sees max mayfield from across the trailer park sometimes and just gets an urge to be there for her, especially after vecna

eddie munson who sees max come home angry after a bad day, and knocks on her door five minutes later with some leftover brownies and a movie. she doesn’t confide in him what’s wrong, and he doesn’t mind, because they watch a movie together and eat enough brownies until they feel sick and max if left feeling happy and full, and eddie sees that as a success

eddie munson who offers max a lift to school on rainy days so she doesn’t have to bike there. he lets her use her own tapes in the van (because she has an awesome music taste) and starts keeping the van stocked with mints just for her

eddie munson who lets her come over to his trailer when her mom isn’t home so she doesn’t have to be alone. wayne quickly becomes fond of the young girl and weekly dinners with her at the trailer soon become a thing. max starts getting hooked on metal music after spending so much time with him and eddie shows her some chords on guitar when she asks

eddie munson who gets shocked when a certain album — kill ‘em all — makes max stiffen up and get upset, and he fumbles to turn the cassette off so quickly but it’s too late and the floodgates have already opened, and the first time eddie hugs max is when she breaks down on his bedroom floor because she hadn’t heard the music that billy used to since right after he died

eddie who slowly brings max out of her shell again, who she grows comfortable with and attached to because eddie is everything that billy should have been to her, and in no way is he trying to replace him, but god he loves max so much and she really is his sister who lives across the trailer park
