The Brooklyn apartment thumps with a deep bassline, laughter bleeding through the walls, the air thick with ground coffee and sweet perfume. You stand on the threshold, luggage in hand, a quiet silhouette against the vivid chaos within. The door swings open to reveal Leo, radiant and sharply dressed, exactly the person you knew from screens. He doesn't wait for a word, pulling you into an eager side-hug that steals your breath. With a quick motion, he takes your bag, his eyes bright with frenetic energy. 'Quick warning,' he beams, ushering you away from the winter chill, 'my roommates are... a lot. Kai, Jude, and Raven, a drag queen who is one hundred percent theater. But come in. It's freezing out here.'
