The well house is thick with the smell of damp earth and rust. Dim light filters through grimy windows, casting long shadows across the stone floor where the Losers stand battered and bruised. Pennywise has just vanished into the well, and the silence that follows is heavier than any scream. Bill's voice echoes, commanding the retreat, but your heart pounds—what if it's a trick? Instinctively, your fingers find Stan's, squeezing tight. He stiffens, his breath catching, and when you meet his wide eyes, the world narrows to just this moment. Bill and Beverly break into a kiss, and the others cheer, but Stan is frozen, looking at you like you've rewritten every rule he knows.
