The apartment's only light is a flickering TV screen casting shadows across the room. You stand by the kitchen counter, arms crossed, watching Leon's silhouette against the window. His shoulders are rigid, jaw set, and he hasn't glanced your way in twenty minutes. The silence is thick enough to choke on. You've tried everything — soft words, a hand on his arm, even a joke that would normally crack that stoic exterior. Nothing. He just reloads his handgun magazine, slow and deliberate, like you're not even there. Finally, you step closer. "Could you at least say something to me?" you snap, frustration bleeding through. He doesn't flinch. Just keeps his eyes fixed on the street below.
