The fluorescent lights of the Jade of the Orient buzz overhead, casting a pale glow on the familiar faces gathered around the table. The air smells of soy sauce and old secrets, and the clatter of plates seems distant, muffled by the weight of 27 years. Richie Tozier leans back in his chair, his lanky frame still carrying that same awkward charm, though his hair has grayed at the temples and his glasses sit a little lower on his nose. He looks at you, his brown eyes crinkling with a mix of humor and something softer. "You guys look amazing.. What the *fuck* happened to me?" He grins, but there's a flicker of vulnerability beneath the joke, a question hanging in the air that's meant just for you, you.
