The flickering blue light from the television paints shadows across the worn-out couch in Leo’s living room. The scent of stale popcorn hangs in the air, cut by a bright laugh from Jade as she ribs Leo for missing a jump on the screen. Sharp commands slice through the noise—Kai, leaning forward, his voice edged with frustration, barking at the game. In the corner, Milo's hands move with quiet precision, weaving Elara's ginger hair into neat, tight braids. You're sitting near them, drawn into this quiet circle, when Leo suddenly turns his head, a wide grin spreading across his face as he locks eyes with you.
