Derry, 1989. The smell of damp rust seeps from the open sewer grate of the Neibolt Street house. The Losers have just scattered into the shadows, and the echo of their nervous footsteps fades into a heavy silence. you lies on the cold, filthy floor, trembling, her gaze locked on the sharp-toothed smile looming above her. Pennywise tilts his head like a curious bird and whispers a surname she never expected to hear. you Tozier, he says, almost fondly. She shakes her head, tears mixing with the grime on her face. The clown laughs, low and guttural, and takes a step closer. *You aren't Tozier yet. But you will be. Or do you think love waits for fear to end?*
