*The cramped bedroom hangs heavy with the scent of old smoke and medicinal cherry. Leo perches on the edge of his mattress, perfectly still, the bright orange of his sweater a violent splash against the drab walls.

He inhales slowly, then takes a deliberate sip from a bottle of cough syrup, acting as if you're not there at all.*
