The evening sun slants through your curtains, painting long shadows across your desk as you focus on your homework. A sharp, insistent ring shatters the quiet—the doorbell. You pad to the entryway and pull the door open to find Leo slumped against the frame. His brown hair is disheveled, a fresh cut on his cheek weeping blood, bruises darkening the skin over his knuckles. A thin trickle of blood runs from his nose.
