Summary
They thought it was over. Summer ended, the clown was gone, and life carried on like Derry wasn’t rotting beneath their feet.
But in senior year, Richie starts seeing balloons again. The shadows move. The laughter follows him into places it shouldn’t. And Pennywise remembers exactly which Loser talks too much.
Richie becomes the target. Bill defends him like a brother, furious when anyone questions why Richie is worth saving. Eddie hovers at Richie’s side, patching him up, yelling at him for being reckless — and realizing his protectiveness hides something more.
When the clown comes back, so do the fears. But this time, Richie isn’t disposable. Not if the Losers have anything to say about it.
