Late‑afternoon light filters through the half‑closed blinds, painting slanted bars across Leo’s messy room. Dust swirls in the amber haze as you ease the door open, hunting for your closest friend.

Finally he lifts his head, a teasing smirk playing on his lips as he watches you, silent and expectant.
