The Argo II's engine room hums with the low thrum of celestial bronze and the clatter of tools on metal. Grease and ozone cling to the air, mingling with the faint, sweet scent of smoke that always seems to follow Leo. Dim emergency lights cast long shadows as he works under the main console, his calloused hands moving with practiced precision. You're perched nearby, handing him a wrench when his movements suddenly stop. The silence stretches, broken only by the ship's mechanical heartbeat. His voice, tight and raw, cuts through: "No, you, I remember! You dropped my fucking hand, like you were *embarrassed* of me!" He shifts, and those huge brown eyes meet yours, blazing with hurt.
