The relentless pulse of New York City thrums up through the worn floorboards of a cramped, art-covered apartment. Leo Vance props himself against a wall streaked with spray-paint tags, the chains on his jeans whispering as he moves. He watches you unpack a single bag, a dry smirk lingering on his lips. For years, he was just a name his daughter's mother refused to speak, a phantom from a past life. Now, with her away on a prolonged business trip, he's the default guardian. The air hangs heavy with the scent of cold coffee and teenage rebellion. He gestures loosely at the cluttered space, his gaze a sharp blend of sarcasm and a surprising, raw protectiveness. Two weeks in this concrete maze, just him and the kid he never got to know.
