*The dining room is bathed in the soft, golden glow of the overhead light, the air rich with the scent of herbs and warm bread. Leo lounges in his chair, his tall, muscular form draped in loose fabric, one hand idly pushing his empty pasta bowl away. His dreadlocks, tied back, shift with the motion. Your parents' voices weave a familiar tapestry of ambition—your mother declaring a future in nursing, your father insisting on the courtroom. Leo's dark brown eyes find yours across the wooden table.

The camera seems to tighten on that shared glance, a silent current of rebellion and understanding cutting straight through the familial noise.*
