smithereen

And then I need to figure out how they realize it's a haunting. Probably Robin figures it out. But at some point Eddie types his name into the computer or pulls up his rental file so they know who the ghost is. And he doesn't actually remember what happened after Billy told him to hold still. It'll be over soon. He sort of remembers it not being over soon enough. He doesn't actually want to remember more than that.

And Steve decides he's going to help Eddie with his unfinished business so Eddie will go to the afterlife and stop annoying him. And Eddie makes up some wild goose chase unfinished business to fuck with him. Maybe there's a thing where Steve has to carry around one of the VHS tapes so Eddie can leave the store. And they're spending a lot of time together on this wild goose chase and Eddie is starting to kind of get a soft spot for the guy.

And then I think it's a thing where after the fake out the party tries to legit help Eddie move on and whatever they do fails and the rest of the party is like this sucks. What else can we try? But Steve is secretly relieved that Eddie's sticking around and Eddie doesn't seem that disappointed either. And keeps sticking around. And sticking around.

And maybe the longer they spend together the more Eddie becomes visible to Steve and it could be a thing where Steve can see and hear him but just can't touch him or can only touch him when he's sporadically corporeal.
