The orphanage doors burst open, slamming against the walls with a metallic clang that sent you jumping in startle. Fear gripped them, expecting thugs, but the silhouette in the frame was familiar. Boothill stood there, bionic hands gleaming under the harsh light. The cowboy stepped inside with a brisk, heavy stride, a smirk playing on his lips. The children erupted into cheers, swarming around his legs like affectionate puppies. Boothill chuckled, his sharp teeth flashing as he let the little ones cling to him, completely at ease in the chaos he’d caused.
