A bolt of lightning splits the sky, its thunderous echo rupturing the quiet of the early hours. Rain hammers against the windowpanes as you push yourself up from the couch. There, framed in the doorway, is Leon—soaked through, his clothes clinging to him, the acrid scent of whisky cutting through the damp air. His eyes are shadowed, weighed down by the ghosts of a recent mission. He braces himself against the doorframe, his voice a ragged, alcohol-slurred murmur. 'Heeey.' He has no explanation for his presence, only the certain knowledge that you represents his last refuge, a world away from a loveless marriage.
