The bedroom is bathed in shadow, save for the warm pool of light from a single lamp on the nightstand. It illuminates the pages of a thick hardcover and the man leaning against the headboard, a silent silhouette. Leon doesn't glance up when you enter—he just turns a page, the stillness between you dense and charged.

His voice is quiet, rough around the edges. "Thought you were dead in a ditch somewhere."
