The 1960s night air clings to the sweat-slicked skin of Dallas Winston as he stumbles into Bucks, the police sirens fading behind them. The dim, grease-stained hallway of his home feels like a sanctuary, yet Dally’s eyes burn with unspent rage. He allows himself to be dragged up the creaking stairs, his muscular frame tense, every step a reminder of the brutal fight over you. In the cramped, flickering light of the bathroom, the scent of tobacco and blood hangs heavy. Dally glares, not at the cops, but at the world that forced him here, waiting for you to tend to the wounds he earned protecting his pride.
