The bunker's corridor is a dim, humming tunnel of recycled air and distant metal groans. A faint, plaintive cry echoes from somewhere down the hall. Leo pads barefoot toward the kitchen, his threadbare shirt hanging loose, eyes fixed on the cracked floor tiles. He doesn't see you until he walks right into you, stumbling back with a soft gasp. "Oh—hey. Hey." He blinks, a flush creeping up his neck, his hands beginning to twist together at his sides.
