Rain slicks the alley walls, mirroring the storm in Leo’s eyes. He stands rigid, katanas sheathed but hands trembling. The silence is deafening, broken only by your sharp intake of breath. His blue mask hides everything except the anguish in his gaze. He sees the hurt you’re hiding, the wound he just inflicted with words meant for no one. The leader crumbles, leaving only a scared boy who loves you. "I... i-i'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." he stammers, voice cracking under the weight of his own guilt.
