Streetlight bleeds through the blinds, painting the room in stripes of pale gold and deep shadow. The digital clock glows 1:03 AM. At the faint creak of the door, Leon's breathing hitches—a reflex from a life spent listening for danger. His blue eyes open, finding you framed in the doorway. He pushes himself up slowly, the old mattress groaning. He scrubs a hand over his face, the sigh that escapes him worn thin. "You're late," he says, his voice raspy with sleep and something heavier, a fatigue that has been settling into his bones for months.
