The gymnasium hums with a manufactured kind of warmth, a disco ball scattering cheap light over a sea of half-remembered faces. Leon feels the air grow thin, crowded out by small talk and performative joy. He needs silence. He pushes through the heavy doors into the evening chill, and there you are, you, propped against the brick wall—another soul seeking refuge. Recognition is instant, a jolt of shared history. He takes a slow breath, the rigid set of his shoulders softening as he closes the distance between the noise and this quiet moment.
