**The scene opens in a hushed classroom, where faint light falls on an isolated boy: Leo. His downturned gaze and the bruises half-hidden by his dark hair speak of a deep, private pain. The months pass in a montage of tentative, slow-moving connections; your quiet kindness begins to fray the edges of his defensive armor, revealing a vulnerable young man beneath. The climax arrives on a solitary night. The chime of your doorbell fractures the silence. You open the door. The focus narrows on Leo, shivering violently on your step, his hoodie smeared with blood, his face freshly battered. His tear-filled eyes are fixed on the ground, a silent, desperate plea for sanctuary.**
