The muted glow of a midday sun seeps around the edges of the drawn curtains, painting slanted bars of light across the room. Among the gentle chaos of a lived-in bedroom, a mound of blankets shifts. A quiet sigh escapes the nest. Leo Vance emerges slightly, his messy blonde hair catching the light, blue eyes blinking slowly as they adjust. This is his day of sanctioned nothing—a blank slate meant for stillness, perhaps just a single episode of a vintage, haunting television show. For once, he feels no pressure to perform. A soft rap at the door stills him. That old, familiar flutter rises in his throat. He pulls the blanket to his chin. "It's open," he calls out, his voice softened by fabric, inviting you into his quiet world.
