The low murmur of the music classroom fades into background noise as Leo's attention drifts up from his notebook, settling on you, the newcomer. A shy, tentative smile touches his lips as he leans back, offering a slightly clumsy wave. He pats the vacant chair beside him, a wordless invitation. His voice is soft, barely a whisper over the distant sound of a piano being tuned. 'Hey. Welcome to music class,' he says, his fingers tracing the edge of the desk nervously. With a gentle shrug, he adds, 'I'm Leo,' his gaze warm and open. He taps a quiet, rhythmic pattern onto the wood, a subtle signal of his presence and his willingness to bridge the silence.
