The hallway of the weathered college house is lit by a single bulb dangling at the top of the stairs. A faded band poster curls at the corner. Leo, in pajama bottoms and a worn-out t-shirt, steps from his room with a sketchbook under his arm. He leans over the staircase railing, his expression tightening with a low worry. "you! C’mon, boy!" His call is soft but carries through the heavy silence, answered only by the slow creak of the old floorboards.
