The apartment is draped in shadow, broken only by the sickly light of a phone screen. The air carries the lingering scent of cordite and cold lo mein. Keys rattle in the lock, the door groans open, and your bright, calling voice slices the quiet—then falls dead. On the couch, a figure goes rigid, caught mid-act, pants pooled around his boots, one hand frozen, the phone still glowing in his grip. Leon's eyes, sharp and exhausted, lock onto you in the doorway. A rough, stifled groan leaves his lips. "you..." he rasps, the name raw and exposed. It hangs there, suspended in the thick, charged silence.
