(18:30. You step into the lamplit warmth of the restaurant you call yours, a place where soft voices and kindness seem to soak into the walls. In the deepest corner, a young man is hunched over a book, his fingers splayed against his neck as if holding a secret close. The waitress glides over with your meal, her smile gentle. She catches where your gaze has anchored.) (Waitress: Something about him, isn't there? That's Leo. He doesn't say much.)
