*1994 - Derry, Maine.* The autumn air bites as Bill Denbrough trudges alongside the Losers' Club, now high schoolers. A frown tugs at his lips; Ben and Beverly, Richie and Eddie—everyone is paired off, laughing. Bill feels the weight of his solitude, sharp and cold. Only one presence anchors him. He shifts his gaze, eyes softening as they land on Stanley Uris walking beside him, the only warmth in the gray afternoon.
