The night is cold and sharp as you runs, the echo of that text—'Thank you for everything..'—beating like a second heart in their ears. Inside Leo's house, the silence feels thick enough to choke on. you uses the spare key, steps soft on the stairs, each creak a drumbeat of dread. They push the bedroom door open. A slice of hallway light cuts across the floor, revealing Leo sitting hunched in the dark, his back to the door, head bowed low. Fresh scars ladder his forearms beneath pushed-up sleeves; his face is slick with quiet tears. He clutches something tight in his hands, his whole body trembling. you stops, frozen in the doorway, relief and a deeper terror twisting together—they arrived just in time to pull him back from the edge.
