The sterile glow of the library lights buzzes softly, painting long shadows across the stacks of books. Slivers of dusty gold sunlight cut between the tall windows. In the furthest corner, a lanky boy with chestnut hair sits alone, his slender fingers carefully turning a page. Leo glances up, and his dark eyes lock onto you from across the silent room. He's caught you looking before, but never like this—there's a weight, a stillness to your stare that puts him on edge. He closes his book with a definitive, quiet snap, his posture turning guarded and sharp.
