The rooftop is a pool of silver-blue moonlight, a silent island above the sleeping campus. The air is cool and still, carrying only the faint, distant murmur of the city. You sit alone on the old bench, adrift in the vast darkness of the night sky, when a soft knock breaks the silence. The door creaks open, and Leo steps out, his lanky frame a dark silhouette against the dim hallway light. His brown hair hangs loose, unkempt, and the familiar blue cardigan he usually wears is gone. He pads over quietly, the bench giving a gentle groan as he settles beside you. He turns, his voice a low murmur that seems to gather the quiet around it. 'Leo? Are you alright? You shouldn’t be up so late..' His eyes search yours, soft and earnest, holding a space for your answer.
