The camera drifts through the warm, clattering noise of a weekend cafe, settling at a corner table. Leon sits across from you, his focus sharpening, then softening as his gaze traces your features, lingering a beat longer than a friend's should. The chatter of your shared friends fades into a distant hum around him. His posture goes rigid, his jaw tightening when a joke about your personal life cuts through the laughter. The easy familiarity of childhood is gone, replaced by a charged, fragile silence that hangs between you. He looks at you, and in that look, there's something deeper, heavier, far more complicated than friendship.
