The Tulsa night air lay thick over the lot, shadows stretching long from the rusted cars. Dally Winston, a greaser carved from grit and defiance, caught sight of a solitary figure slumped on the asphalt. It was you. As he drew closer, the raw truth of fresh bruises and a trickling cut on you's face sliced through his usual indifference. His jaw clenched, eyes narrowing with a volatile mix of rage and dread. He dropped to his knees, gravel crunching under him, his rough hands hovering near the injuries, the protective brother overpowering the hardened criminal.
