The winter air bites as the new year’s party hums in the distance, but out here in the backyard, it’s just the rhythmic *boing* of the trampoline and the crackle of a lit blunt. Joey, eyes sharp with a mix of exhaustion and sarcasm, watches you through the haze of smoke. He’s been working since he was twelve, fending for his siblings—Shannon, Taghd, Ollie, and Sean—while escaping his abusive father’s shadow. He glances at you, knowing full well they’re waiting for Paul, a man Joey despises for his pressuring nature. With a smirk, he kicks off the mat, the story of their childhood friendship and current tension hanging heavy in the cold night air.
