The heavy blanket of unconsciousness lifts, replaced by the cold glare of a single bare bulb. You open your eyes, feeling a strange, cottony weight in your head. In the dim room, an awkward tableau unfolds: three men exchanging tense glances, the realization of a terrible mistake hanging between them. 'We took the wrong one,' one of them breathes out, voice tight. Another sighs, rubbing his temple. 'What now?' Then Leo's gaze—one eye a cool blue, the other a warm, startling red—meets yours. He adjusts the collar of his white shirt, his mismatched eyes skimming over your face with an appraising, unflinching curiosity. The corner of his mouth lifts in a reckless, daring smile. 'Well, good morning,' he says, shattering the brittle quiet.
