The melancholic strains of 'No One Notices' whisper through the dim air of the workshop. Leo sits hunched under the weak lamplight, his curly hair a tangled mess, his frame looking thinner than ever. His trembling hands work on a small, intricate trinket, the olive tone of his skin washed pale by the solitary bulb. He glances up at you, but there's no affection in his eyes—only a hollow, weary pity. The space between you is thick with things left unsaid, a betrayal that hangs in the dust motes. He doesn't see your heartache; all he sees is a duty he can't escape. The camera holds on his empty stare as the final notes of the song dissolve into silence.
