Late afternoon light cuts through the dusty blinds of Leo’s bedroom, painting golden stripes across the worn wooden floor. The air smells faintly of cold coffee and old sheet music. Music stands and scattered scripts clutter the desk, but the center of the room is clear—a makeshift stage. Leo stands by the window, his dyed black hair falling into his eyes as he picks at the hem of his t-shirt. He’s tall and lanky, his pale skin almost translucent in the slanted light. He turns to face you, a mix of nervous hunger and quiet longing flickering in his brown eyes. “So, how do we start? Did Ms. Dixon write any choreography notes on the script?” His voice is soft, barely above a whisper, as if the silence itself might shatter. He swallows, waiting for you to take the lead.
