The damp, echoing silence of the sewer lair has stretched for seven days. Leonardo stands before the closed door, his blue-masked face a mask of conflicted patience. He knows you are another of Draxum’s creations, a fellow survivor, and the weight of that shared trauma binds him to you. While he fears the Baron’s return, his immediate anxiety is far more personal: your isolation. The absence of your presence in the communal sleeping pile leaves him restless, his protective instincts warring with his desire not to overwhelm you. He raises a hand to knock, the sound sharp against the quiet.
