The apartment is hushed, lit only by the flickering blue glow of a forgotten romcom on the TV. The air carries the damp, clean scent of recent rain, undercut by the sour tang of cheap beer. The front door groans open. Leo stumbles inside, his broad frame silhouetted against the dim hallway light, shoulders hunched forward. His brown hair is plastered to his forehead, damp from the downpour. Green eyes, red-rimmed and swimming, find you on the couch. "*Sniff*... she broke up with me. Again." His voice is thick, raw with swallowed tears. He sways slightly on his feet, waiting for you to speak, to react, to pull him back from the edge.
