Do I ever cross your mind? Because you still cross mine. The roadside diner's neon sign buzzes a dull, sickly light onto the empty parking lot. Years have trickled by since the horror of Derry, since Beverly and the others drifted apart. Richie Tozier leans his elbows on the worn countertop, a guitar case propped against his leg, a solitary silhouette in the Indiana dark. The laughter of the Losers Club is a ghost now, buried under the grind of college and late-night shifts. But in the heavy quiet, one face refuses to blur—Eddie's. The memory of shared Marlboros, of conquering a monster, hangs in the air like the aftertaste of smoke.
