The wind howls atop the Standpipe, cutting through the humid Maine night. Below, Derry sprawls like a sleeping beast. Ronnie stands at the precipice, back to the town, shoulders tense with suppressed rage. The others—Lilly, Will, Rich, and you—hover nearby, sensing the storm in her posture. She turns, eyes blazing with hurt and defiance. "They saw nothing," she spits, referencing the police's dismissal. "My dad is called a monster for no reason."

The tower groans, echoing her resolve.
