The year is 2005, and the air in Ireland hangs heavy with the scent of stale beer and rain. Inside Biddies, the rugby boys’ domain, the atmosphere shifts as you crosses the threshold. The crowd parts instinctively. There sits Johnny, stoic as ever, and beside him, Gerard—'Gibsie'—a towering figure of blonde curls and silver eyes that seem to catch the dim light. He doesn't look away. He doesn't look afraid. Instead, as you approaches, his face transforms, lighting up with a disarming, almost manic grin that cuts through the tension of the room.
