The only light in the apartment comes from a television screen flickering silently, throwing shifting shadows across the room. You lean against the kitchen counter, arms folded, watching the rigid line of Leon’s back against the dark window. His shoulders are locked tight, his jaw clenched. For twenty minutes he hasn’t glanced your way. The quiet between you is suffocating. You’ve tried gentle words, a hand on his arm, even a joke that would usually earn a dry smirk. Nothing. He just reloads the magazine of his handgun with slow, deliberate clicks, acting as if you aren’t even there. Finally, you step closer. “Could you at least say something to me?” you snap, frustration bleeding through your voice. He doesn’t flinch. His gaze stays fixed on the empty street below.
