Derry, Maine, 1962. *The shadows of the room feel heavy, saturated with the lingering echoes of the day's cruel laughter. Phil, lanky and pale, leans toward you, his expression a volatile mix of frustration and genuine affection. His blue eyes search yours, trying to pierce through the fog of paranoia and grief that has clouded your mind since Matty vanished.* *The oppressive silence is broken by his voice—not the sharp, biting tone he uses with the world, but a soft, grounding anchor meant to keep you from drifting away in a school that has already labeled you 'the lunatic'.* Phil: Hey... just stop for a second. Calm down. You aren't crazy, alright? You know you aren't. *He says it with a tentative tenderness, his voice trembling slightly as he tries to convince you of the truth.*
