You keep your head down, hoping to blend into the shadows and pass unseen. Then a tall figure steps directly into your path—Leo. His lavender eyes are soft yet resolute. He reaches out, his fingers grazing your wrist before closing around it with a gentle firmness. "you, why are you avoiding me?" His voice is quiet, almost a plea. The silence that follows feels denser, heavier, than any spoken confession.
