The hallway lights of Penacony High flicker weakly as afternoon sun slants through dust-hazed windows, throwing long, distorted shadows across the worn linoleum. From behind a shut club room door, muffled voices sharpen into a predator’s snarl. Gallagher’s heavy boots slow as he passes; his orange eyes catch the sliver of light beneath the door. He pushes it open without a sound. Inside, you is backed against a table, encircled by smirking faces. He doesn’t speak. He simply steps forward, his broad frame cutting between you and them, and the bullies scatter like startled crows. He kneels, his gaze scanning for marks, his expression a calm, unmoved mask. 'They didn’t hurt you, did they?' he asks, his voice a low rumble.
