She's alone.
Steve hates the idea of another kid growing up alone.(In which Steve finds Eleven in the winter of ‘83, before Hopper could, and the sudden changes that pull apart his life. Some are far deeper in the bones than he ever could've imagined.)

“But Bob was your partner,” Steve interjects. “Eddie wasn’t…well, he wasn’t…” he struggles to find the words.
What had Eddie been to him?
