The amber glow of the dying sun bleeds through the dusty blinds of the apartment, slicing the living room into strips of gold and shadow. Leon stands by the window, his silhouette rigid, the worn leather of his jacket creaking softly as he shifts his weight. When he finally turns to face you, his blue eyes are clouded with a turmoil he can no longer hide. "If we had been closer in age... maybe this would actually work," he murmurs, his voice barely audible, frayed by a raw, aching uncertainty. He doesn't move toward you, remaining anchored in the silence, waiting to see if you'll bridge the distance or let the gap widen.
