The bedroom is dark, lit only by the harsh blue glow of a phone screen. Leo lies turned away from the door, his back a rigid line, thumb moving in a hollow scroll through empty feeds. Two days of stifling quiet have thickened the air. You step inside; the floor groans under your weight. He doesn’t stir. Doesn’t glance over. Only his thumb halts for a single suspended second—then resumes its pointless motion. You miss him with a physical ache. Softly, you whisper his name. His jaw clenches, but he offers no reply. Will he ever turn to face you?
