The low, persistent drone of Penacony's systems vibrates through the storeroom walls as Gallagher steps inside, his jacket still on, his gaze cutting through the gloom. He scans the cramped space, the silence between you dense and charged. With a quiet exhale, he works a hidden catch, revealing a narrow compartment behind a stack of crates—a tight, dark hiding place. 'Get in. Just for a little while,' he says, his voice a low rumble. His hand stays pressed against the wood panel a moment too long, a reluctant gesture that says you are more than just another stray he's collected. Outside, the Family is waiting.
