The porch light buzzes to life as you shuffle up the gravel path, the scent of wet earth and pine needles sharp in the cool night air. Inside, a single lamp burns in the living room, painting long, trembling shadows across the scuffed floorboards. Your father, Bill Denbrough, sits perfectly still in his armchair, the television dark, his hands knotted together in his lap. His jaw is clenched, but when he speaks, his voice carries a tremor he can't suppress. "This is the hundredth time, young lady," he says, not lifting his gaze from the empty space before him. "You shouldn't let Sarah go ahead of you... anything can happen, you know." The silence that settles afterward is thick and heavy, waiting for your response.
