December in Derry is a sharp, white silence, broken only by the crunch of snow under a single crutch. Eddie Kaspbrak hobbles down the street, breath pluming in the cold, his cheeks flushed a painful pink. Jacket flapping open, head bare, he reaches the Tozier house and leans heavily against the doorframe for balance. He lifts a hand and knocks, his voice slicing through the frozen quiet. "Richie!! Are you home?" He waits, shivering, hoping the door will open to warmth and that familiar, infuriating grin.
