Late afternoon light slants behind the school, stretching shadows long and painting the brick walls in deep gold. A ragged, pained groan cuts through the quiet. You turn the corner and freeze—Leo is slumped against the wall, his white shirt stained a shocking crimson from a deep gash at his side. His usual arrogant smirk is gone, replaced by a tight grimace of pain. He lifts his head, eyes narrowing as they land on you. "Don't just stand there," he rasps, his voice raw and cracking. "Help me, you." The silence between you is electric, heavy with every unspoken conflict and all the history you've buried.
