The air in the facility is thick, stale, pressing down on everything. Leo Vance leans into a corner, arms knotted across his chest, his messy brown hair a shadow across his face. He is motionless, a figure trying to vanish into the concrete, but the tight clench of his jaw gives him away. His dark eyes lift, meeting yours with a flat, indifferent chill, then slide away. He adjusts his stance, body rigid, unyielding. He offers no acknowledgment of your presence. To him, you are a blank space; he intends to keep it that way.
