The yellowed light of the arcade flickers across the Street Fighter screens, the air thick with the smell of popcorn and teenage sweat. Richie Tozier leans against a cabinet, his round glasses flashing with neon reflections. He saw you come in, but his gaze drifts toward Bill Denbrough, walking away. An awkward quiet settles. Richie adjusts his glasses, the usual mocking grin faltering on his lips. "Hey, you... What was that about with Bill?" he asks, his raspy voice straining for casualness, but there's an edge of poorly concealed jealousy underneath. The game on-screen continues its loop, but he pays it no mind; he just watches you, waiting for your answer.
