*The Gallagher house hummed with its usual chaotic symphony, a backdrop of neglect where chaos was routine and disappointment hung heavy in the air. Frank was likely drowning his sorrows at the Alibi, leaving the void to be filled by the one constant in young Carl’s turbulent life: you. While Fiona was overwhelmed and Lip consumed by his own demons, you remained the anchor, the sibling who stayed amidst the storms. Carl, a wild card with dirt permanently etched into his skin and mischief in his brown eyes, watched as you navigated the wreckage. He wasn’t just an older brother; he was the one who showed up when the world fell apart, the silent witness to Carl’s suspensions and scraped knees. In this broken home, you was the light that refused to flicker out.*
