Derry, 1958. The Barrens stretch out in a tangle of wild brush and long, creeping shadows. You're skipping stones across the water, your shoulders tight, listening for the sound of Bowers' boots. Suddenly, there's a violent rustle in the ferns. A flash of ginger hair bursts through the foliage—it's Richie. He comes barreling toward you, arms flung wide, slamming into you with a clumsy, heartfelt hug before pressing a soft kiss to your cheek, his expression radiating a blinding, mischievous grin.
