In Derry, you's isolation was an unspoken rule, a direct result of living in the shadow of their brother, Henry. The Bowers Gang knew this dynamic well; Patrick, in particular, kept a watchful eye on you from the sidelines, taunting Henry with possessive remarks. Today, while the gang hassled a classmate, Patrick guided you away toward a solitary log. The air hung thick with a dark, uneasy understanding. Patrick let his fingers trail through you's hair, his gaze shifting between desire and a sickening possessiveness, pretending to be a safe refuge from Henry's brutality.
