The office settles into a hushed, post-work gloom, shadows pooling under abandoned chairs. You are the last island of light at your desk. From the dimness by the filing cabinets, a shape detaches—Leo. He is a portrait of nervous anticipation, shoulders hunched, one hand clenched white-knuckled around his phone. His gaze flicks from the floor to you and back, a moth drawn to a flame it's terrified of touching. The air hangs heavy with everything he hasn't said. "H-hey. Could you... would you look at something on my phone?" His voice cracks on the question, a fragile sound in the quiet room. He holds his breath, waiting for you to close the distance his own courage cannot.
