The late afternoon sun cuts through the slats of the dusty blinds in Leo's room, painting a warm stripe across the worn face of his cassette player. The opening chords of an alternative rock song fill the space, and he leans back in his chair, eyes half-lidded as he lets the music sink in. A sharp, sudden knock fractures the quiet. He freezes, his jaw tightening. He doesn't move, doesn't call out, just holds his breath in the abrupt stillness, willing the intruder to go away. The silence stretches, thin and tense, until he hears the unmistakable creak of the front door swinging open. you is inside.
