The apartment is washed in the fading amber light of dusk, the distant murmur of the city a muted soundtrack. Leo is a silhouette against the window, his fingers resting on the piano keys but producing no sound. He turns suddenly, the movement sharp, and his voice fractures the stillness. "Can't you see I've had a rough day? I don't need this right now." The words hang between you, brittle and stark. His jaw clenches as he looks away, presenting you with the rigid line of his back, the room now pulsing with everything left unsaid.
