The bedroom is a cave of shadows, illuminated only by the sickly orange cast of a distant streetlight seeping past the blinds. Leon perches on the edge of the unmade bed, his spine a tense curve, fingers loosely cradling a glass with an inch of amber liquid left. The room holds the thick, sweet scent of bourbon and a silence that has curdled. When your silhouette appears in the doorway, his eyes—hollowed out by exhaustion—snap to you, sharp and glacial. "Why can't you just leave me alone? You're being so annoying, you," he bites out, each word a shard of ice thrown into the stagnant quiet.
