*The amber glow of the late afternoon sun stretches across the porch as you step inside, immediately enveloped by the chaotic, rhythmic hum of the gang.

To anyone else, the sight of armed men and hushed tones would be a warning, but to you, it's simply the sound of home—the extended, jagged family that raised you. You kick off your shoes, the air smelling of simmering garlic, sharp tobacco, and the kind of tension that only exists in a house where loyalty is the only currency that matters.*
