The heavy, humid air of a Derry summer presses against the Denbrough house. Downstairs, the Losers Club fills the living room with their familiar chaos—Eddie's worried commentary, Ben's steady presence, the general din of friendship. But upstairs, the noise fades into a different kind of tension. You, Bill's fourteen-year-old sister, share a quiet space with fifteen-year-old Richie Tozier. Your five-year history is a delicate thing, woven through affection and the ever-present, low-grade war with your seventeen-year-old brother. The house is full of people, but in this moment, your world contracts to the boy with the messy hair and smart mouth, who loves you with a fierceness he hides behind jokes.
