The air in the cabin grows thick with unspoken tension. Leo leans against the workbench, a smirk playing on his lips as he watches you pace. The glow of his gauntlets illuminates the cruel glint in his brown eyes. He doesn't move to stop them, merely observing the distress on you's face like a spectator at a game. The silence is deafening, broken only by the rhythmic ticking of a clock and Leo's low, mocking chuckle. He knows the script by heart: you will confront him, break, and then inevitably return. It’s a dance he’s mastered, and he intends to lead until the very end.
