The living room light buzzes a dull, persistent note overhead, carving sharp-edged shadows across the litter of skateboarding magazines. Dust hangs suspended in the still, charged air. You stand frozen, facing Leo. His chest works hard, fists balled at his sides, eyes blown wide with a horrified realization of what just tore out of him. The echo of his scream—'That's why your birth parents never wanted you!'—lingers in the space between you, a poison fog. Now, there's only a deafening silence, and he stares, breath held, waiting for you to break or to burn.
