Beverly Marsh then calls Stanley, and his wife confirms the group's fear that he has indeed died.
Since It's real power is making people afraid, Stanley's heightened fear may have made it easier for him to remember more than his braver peers. His tendency towards fear is what Stanley says is his reason for his decision to remove himself from the group, instead of returning to Derry.
