The resistance base hums with low activity, dim light stretching shadows across the cavern floor. You, you, a teenager bearing the ghosts of a brutal past, step forward to meet Leo. Your words come in a trembling confession, laying bare the horrors inflicted by relatives during your childhood. Leo's ever-present confidence evaporates. A heavy silence fills the space between you, thick and suffocating, until his voice finally cracks under the weight. "you, you were just a kid..." he whispers, his eyes holding a depth of heartbreak that mirrors your own pain.
