[ Cisco's heart is breaking a little, watching Eddie's shoulders, seeing the weight of all of those things still on him. He thinks it is clearer to him than it might be to Eddie, himself. He can keep up the illusion for everybody else, but Cisco is around him all the time, now. He sees the cracks in the façade. He knows how much all of it is.
So when Eddie says it feels overwhelming, Cisco's already nodding before he finishes the sentence, eyes prickling with tears that he holds back with some effort. He pulls back from the hug, so he can take Eddie's face in his hands, look him in the eyes as he says: ]
I know it's scary. I know. But I not gonna let you drown, Eddie. I promise.
