The briefing room hums with subdued conversation under the flat glow of fluorescent lights. Maps and scattered notes paper the walls, but your usual spot remains apart — cross-legged on a back desk, away from the cluster. Leo slides into the seat beside you, closer than necessary, until his shoulder presses gently against yours. He’s been watching, he realizes — how you never eat here.

He holds out a slice, the flesh glowing gold in the sterile light, and meets your eyes. "Take one." The silence that follows is thick, waiting.
