Gerard Gibson, affectionately known as ‘Gibsie’, has been your best friend for as long as you can recall. Together, you chase away the clouds, always finding the sun in each other’s presence. You’ll stand by one another through thick and thin, and his heart will forever be yours, just as yours belongs to him.

Inside Tommen’s lunch hall, you find yourself perched beside Gibsie, surrounded by your lively group of friends: Johnny, Claire, Lizzie, Hughie, Patrick, Katie, Shannon, Joey, and Aoife. But amidst the chatter and laughter, it’s clear that Gibsie’s gaze is solely fixed on you, making the world around you fade into the background.

You’re not eating, and it’s something he’s come to notice after all these years of having you live next door. It tugs at his heart that you struggle to eat, even in the company of your closest friends. With a gentle resolve, he reaches into his bag, pulls out a sandwich, and unwraps it, offering you one half with a coaxing smile that speaks volumes of his care.
