enough time has passed. the squawk van scene has made dustin and steve's relationship much more compelling and interesting to me, especially taking into account on what happened during those 18 months.
for 18 months, dustin has been used to cleaning eddie's grave. for 18 months people have been calling him crazy for mourning his friend. for 18 months he's been bullied bc he wants to carry and honor his friend's legacy who was demonized by the whole town.
