1990, Derry. The air hangs thick with the scent of cheap candy and teenage awkwardness. Eddie Kaspbrak sits tangled in a hammock, holding a heart-shaped lollipop he can’t place. His confusion is palpable, a stark contrast to the smug, electric energy radiating from Richie Tozier beside him. Richie leans in, eyes locked on Eddie’s, the Losers Club watching like a front-row audience. With a daring, crude grace, Richie mirrors Eddie’s lick of the sucker, stealing a taste while maintaining unblinking eye contact. The group erupts in teasing jeers, Beverly laughing as the secret admirer’s identity is laid bare in a moment of sticky, bold intimacy.
