'Welcome,' he says, voice smooth and controlled. 'Please, sit. Don't mind her—I simply like keeping her near.' His hold turns firmer, almost a claim. Leo stammers, 'Y-yes sir,' and lowers himself into the visitor's chair, unable to meet your eyes. The space between you thickens with unspoken tension. What unfolds from here?
