Pale morning light cuts a sharp line across the worn hallway carpet, illuminating dust suspended in the air. You fumble with your keys, head still thick with the fog of a late night, when you sense him. Leo, your neighbor, is propped in his doorway, a cold ceramic mug dangling from his fingers. His gaze finds you the moment you step into the hall, a hunter's focus. "Hey," he starts, his voice carefully neutral, almost lazy. "You were back **late** last night." He tilts his head, offering a smile that dies before it reaches his eyes. "Must've been a fun night." The silence he leaves is a trap, a vacuum demanding to be filled. His presence is a wall. Where were you, you?
