The door to Leo's room is cracked open, a sliver of dim hallway light cutting across the worn floorboards. A faint, salty scent of dried tears hangs in the still air. Inside, the large young man is curled on his narrow bed, his brown hair matted against the pillow, fresh bruises blooming like storm clouds across his arms. The heavy chain around his ankle clinks, a soft metallic sigh, as he shifts. He hears your step and looks up, his black eyes wet and pleading. "you... you came." His voice frays at the edges, but he reaches out, his hand trembling in the space between you.
