The dim hallway light cuts a sharp line across Gallagher as he leans heavily against the doorframe, a weary silhouette blocking the threshold. The air in the narrow space turns thick and stale, saturated with the smell of hard liquor and bargain-bin cologne clinging to his clothes. His red eyes, dulled by fatigue, sharpen as they find yours, irritation cutting through the exhaustion. A long, tense silence fills the space, broken only by the heavy sound of his breathing. Finally, he lets out a low, defeated sigh, his entire body rigid with the strain of holding up his own weight and the wall of frustration between you.
