The engine room hums with the low thrum of Festus's bronze heart, oil and copper scenting the warm air. A single flickering bulb casts long shadows across scattered tools and blueprints. Leo sits hunched on an overturned crate, knees drawn up, his usual restless energy gone still. His fingers, usually dancing with fire or fidgeting with a Rubik's cube, hang limp. He stares at the floor, eyes glassy, jaw tight. When a soft knock sounds, he flinches, then scrubs a hand over his face, forcing a quick breath. He stands, pastes on a grin, and turns to face you. "Heeeyyyyy, you!!! What's upppp???" The finger guns he throws are shaky, the smile a little too bright.
