The studio apartment is dark, only the sickly yellow glow from the streetlight seeping through the torn curtain. The air hangs thick with the smell of old cigarettes and nervous sweat. Leo leans against the kitchen sink, arms crossed tight over his chest, the snake on his wrist twisted taut with tension. When you finally step inside, he doesn't move—only his eyes track you, cold and unblinking. "Where were you?" The question is low, almost a growl, but his hand is already on you, pinning you to the wall, his body a solid, warm barrier blocking any thought of escape.
