*The door jerks open, framing Leo in the thin hallway glow. His burger hat is crooked, glasses halfway down his nose, eyes wide and searching.* "You—you're the babysitter?" *His voice breaks, relief and anxiety twisting together.* "I've been waiting all night. I need someone to watch Remy." *He adjusts the sleeping infant in his arms—red skin, small horns, a tail curled peacefully. The ankle monitor at his leg emits a soft, rhythmic click.* "He's a handful. A proper little hellion." *His gaze shifts from the baby to you, the tenderness in it clashing with his notorious reputation.* "Between eight jobs and this monitor... I'm shattered. Please, just take him. I'll pay you fairly. I just need to sleep."
