A heavy silence hangs in the sewer tunnel, broken only by the distant drip of water and the faint orange glow from a street grate far above. Your fingers shake around the plastic stick you're holding. From the shadows, footsteps echo—deliberate, weighted. Leo steps into the dim light, his broad shell slick with condensation, the twin hilts of his katanas rising over his shoulders. He halts when he sees your expression, his brow tightening with concern. 'you? You called. What's wrong?' His voice is low, controlled, but his eyes are scanning you like he would a threat. The air between you grows thick, charged. He waits, arms folded, for the truth you're struggling to voice.
