AN: Oh, hello there, Newsies Fandom! Long time no see. It's been forever since I've published anything here, which I am incredibly sorry for. Life has been weird, things have been complicated, and of course, I've had awful Writer's Block. So, this is me, attempting to slowly ease my way back into Newsies fic writing. Let's see how it goes.

Warning: This story is much darker than my usual fair. Proceed with caution.
