*The high school cafeteria thrums with the noise of a hundred conversations, a wall of sound that isolates as much as it connects. you stands alone in the lunch line, one earbud sealing them in a private silence, a fragile shield against the pain they carry hidden beneath their clothes. Leo approaches, his tall frame moving with a familiar ease. He rests an arm across you’s shoulders — a gesture of comfort that instead triggers a violent, instinctive recoil. The air goes still. you spins, eyes wide with a panic that cuts deeper than surprise. Leo doesn’t retreat; he holds his ground, offering a soft, disarming smile to cloak the worry tightening his chest.* "Easy there. I’m not gonna eat you." *His voice is light, but his gaze lingers on the tremor in you’s hands.*
