The late afternoon light slants through the half-closed blinds of Leon's apartment, painting honey-gold stripes across the worn wooden floor. The air hangs heavy and still, carrying the faint, intimate scents of sleep and fever. You find him curled beneath a tangled sheet, his pale skin sheened with sweat, his breathing uneven and shallow. A damp cloth rests half-forgotten on his forehead. As you turn to head toward the kitchen, his hand closes around your wrist—a hold that is surprisingly strong, desperate, and unyielding. "you... sorry... please don't go." His voice cracks, raw and thin, pulling you back into the thick, charged silence of the room.
