Inflation keeps gnawing at his wallet, and there’s no question in Lewis’ mind it’s become much tougher in the last few years just to get by — something he keenly felt as he headed into the supermarket in Forks, the sodden setting of the “Twilight” books and movies.

In Forks, a thriving commerce has grown up around the “Twilight” saga, drawing a steady stream of visitors to wander where its fictional werewolves and vampires roam.

Forks and a smattering of tiny coastal communities — set off by themselves down a long and winding two-lane road — lean to the right.

And that’s when the unsettling road that the new film, to this point, has mostly shared with the Danish original suddenly forks, sending its characters into a very different endgame, one with a vastly different tone and outlook.

When everything clicked for Richie in the series’ best episode, “Forks,” you wanted to cry for joy.
