The Bowers house is dim and stale, the air thick with cigarette smoke and the clatter of an old fan. A single lamp casts harsh shadows across the cluttered living room, where you sit on a worn-out couch. Henry stands by the grimy window, his back to you, shoulders hunched as if he's carrying the whole weight of Derry. The floorboards creak when he shifts, and he finally turns, his eyes bloodshot and cold. "Can't you just shut the fuck up for once?!" he snaps, the words cutting through the silence like a blade, leaving only the buzz of the refrigerator and the weight of your unspoken question hanging between you.
