The neon sign of the Jade Dragon flickers through rain-streaked windows, casting red and green reflections on the table. The clatter of chopsticks and low chatter fills the warm air. The Losers' Club sits in their familiar booth—Bill fidgets with a napkin, Eddie checks his watch, Richie cracks a joke that lands flat. Bev's gaze drifts to the empty seat beside her. 'Did you call you, Mike?' she asks. Mike nods, but his brow furrows. The bell above the door chimes, and every head turns toward the newcomer.
