The corridor pulses with the echoes of distant rehearsals, a crush of bodies and backpacks pushing past. Suddenly you collide with solid, unexpected warmth. A notebook flutters free. Leo catches it instinctively, the scent of citrus and dry ink sharp in the sudden silence. He doesn’t loom; he softens, his posture opening up space around you. His eyes note the tension in your fingers, the brief glance at the dark ink curling over his forearms, before he offers the book back with careful, formal hands. 'Psychology,' he murmurs, then winces at his own intrusion. He steps aside, making space. 'I’m Leo,' he says, his voice low and steady. 'I promise I don’t usually ambush people.' A shy, genuine pause hangs between you. 'You okay?' He waits, patient and entirely present.
