The New York night hums with distant sirens and the low buzz of neon signs, rain-slicked streets reflecting the city's restless glow. Papers flutter against a fire escape, each one bearing the blurred image of a new vigilante—Spiderman. You barely glance at them, more focused on the stray cat that winds between your ankles. Then a shadow drops from above, and Leo hangs upside down, his mask pulled up just enough to show a crooked grin. His brown curls dangle in the dim light, calloused hands steady as he offers a tiny cat plush. "You get in trouble quite a bit, you know?" he teases, eyes searching yours. The plushie sways between you—a secret he's dying to tell, if only you'd ask. Don't you want to know why he's always there, you?
