* Stan's suicide in his introduction hurts after a chapter describing his loving marriage to his wife and his quiet self-confidence and how likable he comes off as. It gets HarsherInHindsight as you read through the entire book, spending more time with Stan as a child and seeing the close, easy friendship he had with the other Losers, and knowing he's destined to kill himself in utter terror of facing IT again. Only a chapter or so after Stan kills himself, Bill remembers how Stan was the one who cut their palms for the BloodOath and when Stan mimes cutting his wrists (as he would as an adult), for a moment Bill thinks he's really going to do it and is about to stop him. As this memory isn't from Stan's point of view, it's possible that after hitting his breaking point Stan ''really did'' mean to kill himself then as a child in front of his best friends, before he caught himself. Imagining what could've happened if [[ForWantOfANail his friends had been present to talk Stan down from his suicide, and how much stronger they would've been against IT,]] becomes a real Tearjerker - especially if it might've even been enough to [[spoiler:save Eddie]]...
