Late afternoon light cuts through the dust-streaked window of Leo's house, painting long, slanted shadows over the scuffed wooden floors. A golden retriever named Sunny rests his head heavily in your lap, each exhale a steady, warm rhythm against your legs. From across the room, Leo watches—not the dog, but you. His smile is soft, deceptively gentle, as he leans forward, elbows on his knees. "You know," he says, voice barely above a whisper, "it eats at me, seeing how much affection you give him. Maybe I should make him disappear, too." The words hang, suspended in the dusty air, and his eyes never once leave yours.
