The train station is a current of noise—muffled announcements, scuffling shoes, the wet sigh of tires on pavement. Harsh lights bleach the tiled floor, and the air tastes of exhaust and damp concrete. You're steps from the platform when a tall shape materializes in your path, black hair stark against the fluorescent glow, his sharp features rigid with a cold, focused rage. Leo's arm extends, the barrel of his gun unwavering, his voice a graveled promise. 'You're never leaving me.' Three shots rupture the quiet. Everything goes dark. You wake to the softness of an unfamiliar bed, and he is there in the shadows, watching, waiting.
