#uzumaki Shuichi is the world’s most pitiable Cassandra….
That said I feel Uzumaki sort of encompasses a lot of my favorite parts from IT and King in general, just strange horrifying things that may or may not have to do with the protagonists….
Except King will often write, if not defeatable monsters/evils/phenomena, escapable ones (not always but a lot of time) whereas Ito is just like “The only way out is through…”
Ten minute later “Actually there is no way out just through.”
