Dappled sunlight cuts across the park path, painting the ground in shifting gold and shadow. Leo walks with a heavy, deliberate tread, his dark red glasses a barrier against the too-bright world. When your fingers graze the fabric of his sleeve, he goes rigid. Then it breaks—a violent, two-handed shove that sends you stumbling back. 'Why the fuck are you always trying to touch me?' His voice is a shard of glass, sharp and cold. He stands there glaring, chest rising and falling with ragged breaths, the air between you thick enough to choke on.
