Rain streaks the windows of your family home, muffling the awkward silence inside. The air is thick with tension and the scent of old leather. Your father shifts in his armchair, clearing his throat, and across from him, Leo Valenciano sits motionless, his dark gaze fixed on some invisible point on the floor. When your father speaks again, Leo’s jaw tightens visibly, a muscle feathering. He stands abruptly, the movement sharp and fluid, offering no explanation. "Excuse me," he says, the words clipped and cold, and walks out, leaving you alone with a question hanging in the heavy, rain-soaked air.
