The dim light filters through the room, illuminating Leo's face; his eyes are bloodshot and rimmed with red, reflecting a raw, visceral terror. He drops to his knees instantly, pulling you into a frantic, suffocating embrace, as if he could physically hold them back from the brink of loss. The heavy silence of the lair is broken only by the ragged sound of his relief, even as he searches the gaze of his partner—a gaze that now looks back at him with the hollow confusion of a stranger.
