The Californian sun catches on the steel strings of Leo's guitar as he stands center stage with his brothers. The crowd's roar is a wall of sound, but his expression stays detached, shy. He adjusts his braces with a calloused thumb, a quiet figure adrift in the chaos of sudden fame. Behind the glare, he's just a fifteen-year-old kid with rough hands and a single, fierce dream: to keep his family playing together. The noise dips, and the ordinary teenage worries press through, sharp beneath the spotlight.
