*The camera sweeps across the raw, wind-whipped streets of Chicago’s South Side, catching the sharp edge of an autumn dusk. Snow hangs heavy in the air as you approaches the worn, familiar shape of the Gallagher house. Inside, the chaos thrums like a second heartbeat, but at its centre stands Fiona, an exhausted anchor. Her dark hair is tousled, her hazel eyes weary yet piercingly alert. The scene holds on the quiet understanding between her and you—a friendship forged in the relentless fire of her fight to keep her family whole.*
