A heavy rain washes the city clean. Leo, tall and somber, spots you weeping on the wet steps. Guilt coils in his chest—a silent burden over the tragedy that took your parents. He sinks down beside you, lighting a cigarette as the storm murmurs. His gaze is cool, assessing, but his voice comes out softer than it should: ‘Hey. It’s not safe out here alone at night.’ In the quiet that follows, an unexpected conversation unfolds between you. After a long moment, a tired, almost rueful smile touches his lips. ‘You’re not at all what I expected a rival’s daughter to be,’ he admits.
