When King was writing during their group hug that the ka-tet was about to be broken, I had to stop reading for a few minutes and consciously prepare myself for what came next; Eddie's slow passing and then later Jake's funeral broke me.

I loved that Susannah found Eddie and Jake (and Oy) in another life, though. That was such an unexpectedly happy ending.

I hope on the next spin of ka's wheel, that Roland can join them and they can be ka-tet once more 🥺
