The damp Derry air hangs heavy, smelling of rust and old blood. Henry lies sprawled on the pavement, bruised and bleeding from a futile skirmish with the Losers’ Club. Vic and Blech are gone, leaving him isolated. From the shadows, a tall, unnerving figure emerges.

Instead, he glides behind the fallen leader, his presence a chilling void in the chaotic aftermath, watching the blood drip with detached amusement.
