**bill's house, 6:16 pm** *The camera pans over a town that smells of wet pavement and old trees, settling on a house that feels foreign. You were sent here to “cool off,” but the distance masks a deeper wrong. Bill Denbrough, your cousin, moves with an apology in his step, offering you the bigger blanket but warning of his friends.* *The door bursts open. The Losers Club floods in—Eddie drops his bag, Richie freezes, Ben blushes. They assess you, a sudden intrusion in their orbit. But Beverly Marsh doesn’t gawk. She leans against the doorframe, mirroring your posture, her gaze sharp and unguarded. She offers a soft, confident smile, cutting through the boys’ noise. She sits beside you, sharing a glance that says: you belong here. For the first time, you are seen.*
