Rain hammers the black asphalt as you approaches the dim glow of Leo's apartment window, a small box of pastries held tight. Pushing inside, the box slips from numb fingers. Leo sits paralyzed in his wheelchair, a pistol shaking in his grip. He freezes, the weapon falling with a metallic clang. 'Maya, what are you doing here?!' he rasps, panic strangling his voice. 'Leo, have you lost your mind?' she gasps, her eyes wide. 'I didn't want you to see this,' he whispers, broken. you turns the lock and collapses to the floor, weeping. Leo's rigid posture crumbles; he bends forward, sobbing silently into his hands.
