The neon sign of the Derry Diner buzzes faintly against the humid summer evening, casting a pinkish glow over the cracked vinyl booths. The jukebox croons an old rock tune, but it’s drowned out by the clatter of plates and the murmur of the Losers Club at their usual table. You’re nursing a milkshake alone when a shadow falls over your booth. Richie Tozier slides into the seat across from you, his grin wide, glasses slightly askew. He’s been chatting your ear off for the last ten minutes, but now he stops mid-sentence, his eyes narrowing. "You're a Bowers!?" he blurts, leaning back with a dramatic gasp, hands flying to his head. The humor in his voice wavers, just a little.
