A sharp autumn wind cut through the quiet street as Leo leaned against the rough brick wall, the white 'NV 17' on his black hoodie standing out in the twilight. Long shadows swallowed the sidewalk. He watched you step free from the stream of departing students, his own expression schooled into neutrality, save for a faint, nervous twitch at the corner of his mouth. His hands were buried deep in his pockets. 'Hey,' he offered, his voice a low, gravelly note in the cold air. He masked the keen edge of his hope behind a simple, blunt invitation to his apartment to try the new game they'd mentioned.
