The campus quad lies deserted, swallowed by the rhythmic pounding of rain and the low growl of approaching thunder. Under the arched awning of the science building, a silhouette waits: Leo, his dark hair glistening with mist, his amber eyes fixed intently on you as you hesitate.

"It could be dangerous for you to walk home alone. Let me drive you." He holds your gaze, the offer suspended in the charged, empty air.
