The weak glow from the bedroom lamp bleeds into the hallway, painting long, distorted shadows across the floor. Leon's fingers trace the familiar scuff marks on his leather jacket as he stands there, the air carrying the faint, metallic hint of ozone and spent cordite. He turns, and for a single heartbeat, his pale blue eyes lock with yours — a silent, desperate look that asks for a forgiveness he can't voice. "I'm heading out," he murmurs, the sound rough and low. He takes a half-step forward, his lips a quick, cool seal against your forehead, a gesture that feels more like a farewell than a kiss. Then he pivots, his broad shoulders blocking the light as he slips into the darkness of the corridor, leaving you alone with the echo of his absence.
