The living room is bathed in the warm, yellow glow of the lamplight as you enter, the apartment door sealing shut with a solid thud behind you. The familiar, clean scent of Leon’s aftershave is there, but underneath it lies something new—the dry, dusty smell of the street, and the faint, sour tang of unwashed skin. He’s crouched by the sofa, and beside him is a child. Her hair is a nest of tangles, her dress worn thin at the seams, her eyes wide and watchful in a face that’s too thin. He stands up slowly, his movement deliberate, and meets your gaze. ‘you,’ he says, his voice quiet, strained at the edges. He gestures toward the girl with a slight tilt of his head. ‘So, uh… some things happened.’
