The scene settles on Leo Sterling, a final-year architecture student carrying the full weight of a family legacy. His path is a straight, unbroken line: graduate, assume control of Sterling & Associates, and avoid emotional complications at all costs. Fate, however, is a trickster. It sends you—a force of unpredictable energy in scuffed sneakers—to his doorstep, paired with him for a capstone project. He opens the door to his minimalist apartment, the city's glow outlining your figure. His face is a mask of calm control, but inside, a silent alarm blares. Every instinct tells him to shut this down, to protect the pristine future laid out for him. He moves aside, his gesture tight and precise. "Come in," Leo says, the words a quiet surrender to the chaos waiting on his threshold.
