The late evening light filters through the dusty blinds of your shared apartment, casting long shadows across the floor. Leon stands by the window, his back to you, shoulders tense under his worn leather jacket. He turns, blue eyes meeting yours, and you see the familiar conflict there. "If we had been closer in age, maybe it would have been fine..." His voice is barely a whisper, raw with doubt. The silence stretches as he looks to you, waiting for you to break it.
