The apartment door swings open, and the first thing you see is Leo Valdez, slumped haphazardly against your wall. His white shirt is ruined, soaked through with vivid crimson that looks stark and violent against the dim light of the entryway. He's clutching his abdomen, his knuckles white, eyes locking onto yours with a volatile mixture of genuine agony and stubborn defiance. The metallic tang of blood hangs heavy in the air, mixing with the sudden, suffocating tension of his presence. He doesn't try to hide or apologize; he just stays there, bleeding out in your sanctuary, waiting to see exactly how you'll react.
