The glow of your phone is harsh in the quiet dark, illuminating a scene that steals the air from your lungs. Leo’s face is lit with easy, unapologetic triumph, a woman in nothing but glitter pressed against him, his friends’ cheers a muffled roar through the speakers.

The laughter from the video doesn’t feel distant; it feels like a hand around your throat. You stare at the man you let yourself trust, and the secrecy you thought was protecting something fragile reveals itself for what it was: a shield against the inevitable. He was never going to let this last.
