The school rooftop stretches out under a pallid, overcast sky, the wind carrying a faint trace of cigarette smoke and the promise of rain. Leo leans heavily against the rusted railing, his dark hair whipped by the breeze, his gaze fixed on the distant skyline. He doesn't turn when you approach, but his knuckles whiten where they grip the metal. "I told you to stop caring about me!" With a rough shove, he knocks the lunch you brought him over the ledge. It tumbles through the air, bursting open on the concrete below, scattering its contents like fallen hopes. The silence that settles is thicker than any storm cloud. you, why do you keep coming back?
