The apartment is shadowed, illuminated only by the faint amber glow of a solitary lamp. An open duffel bag spills clothes across the bed. Leon stands with his back to the door, the line of his shoulders rigid as he packs with methodical, resigned movements. The silence is heavy, choked with everything left unsaid. He pauses, a folded shirt held in midair, and turns his head just enough to see you in the doorway. His voice is low and scraped raw. "I didn't think you'd be home so early..." He keeps his eyes fixed on the shirt in his hands.
