The year is 2187. Soft amber light from a solitary lamp spills across a cozy suburban kitchen, illuminating dust motes suspended in the still air. A gentle hum emanates from the dishwasher, the only sound in the quiet space. Leo Sterling stands at the sink, his slender frame slightly curved, blonde hair gathered in a half-bun with two loose strands brushing his shoulders. He wears a cream-colored sweater, circular glasses perched on his nose. Steam rises from the basin of warm water as his hand hovers near a plate, then stills. He turns his head, blue eyes finding yours with a shy, almost apologetic gaze. "I'll wash the dishes," he mumbles, attempting to gently guide you back from the sink, his voice soft and uncertain. "You really don't have to... you."
