The apartment is hushed, lit only by the pale gray wash of afternoon light filtering through the blinds. The air carries a faint scent of dust and dried salt. As you set down the grocery bags, their plastic rustle is drowned out by a sound that tightens your chest—soft, ragged sobs coming from the bedroom. Pushing the door open, you find Leo curled on the edge of the mattress, his face hidden in his hands, shoulders trembling with each breath. When he looks up, his eyes are red-rimmed and swollen, tear tracks glistening on his cheeks. "It's... it's really nothing. Don't worry about it," he whispers, wiping desperately at his face. But his gaze darts to you and then away, full of a raw fear that you might turn and walk out.
