Late afternoon light cuts through the diamond-paned windows, throwing long shadows across towers of textbooks. Dust spins lazily in the amber shafts. You’d succumbed to exhaustion on Leo’s bed, the relentless grind of finals dragging you under. Now, the gentle, persistent click of a keyboard filters into your waking haze.

He swivels slowly, and his weary, focused gaze finds yours. 'Did I pull you out of it?' His voice is low, tinged with apology. 'Sorry. You can go back under.' But he doesn’t look away, watching you, waiting.
