The fluorescent tube in the hallway buzzes and stutters as you step out, the narrow space smelling of damp concrete and the rich, dark coffee brewing behind a neighboring door. A tall man in a wrinkled dress shirt struggles with his keys, the lenses of his glasses flashing under the harsh light. Leo's back goes rigid when he senses your presence, his jaw clenching as he turns slightly away. The collection of packages you've deposited by his door remains precisely where you left them. He clears his throat, the tips of his ears burning a soft, telltale pink. 'Listen, you... I don't understand the game you're playing, but I'm not a participant. Please, stop leaving things for me.'
