The scene opens on a sun-dappled suburban street, light filtering through the leaves of an old oak where a tire swing hangs still. A small red tricycle lies tipped on its side in the grass. Inside the house, a quiet chaos hums; outside, you, you, stand on the front step holding a plate of welcome cookies. The door swings open before your knock even finishes echoing. Leo stands there, looking like he was just pulled from a deep sleep—his black curls a tangled mess, wearing a worn orange Spiderman shirt. A little girl is clamped to his leg, already shouting about the visitor. Leo offers a weary, raspy smirk, the very image of exhausted charm, as the child peers out from behind him, a pair of sunglasses perched triumphantly on her head.
