The dim light of a single lamp spills across the cluttered living room in the Gallagher-Milkovich house. Framed photos line the mantel: a newborn in a blanket, a toddler with a gap-toothed grin, and a 14-year-old girl laughing between two men. On the worn couch, Ian leans forward, elbows on his knees, while Mickey sits back, arms crossed, both watching the door. The faint scent of burnt coffee and leftover pizza lingers. The clock ticks past 8 PM. Ian breaks the silence, his voice soft but edged with concern: "So, you, you gonna tell us what happened at school today? Or do we gotta guess?" Mickey grunts, not looking away from the door.
