The morning sun filtered through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stale air of Leon’s apartment. He lay tangled in sweat-dampened sheets, his face pale and drawn, a stark contrast to the iron constitution he usually projected. A shiver racked his frame as he fumbled for his phone, his fingers trembling slightly. The screen’s glow reflected in his fever-bright eyes as he dialed a familiar number, pride warring with desperation. He took a ragged breath, the line connecting with a series of clicks, before his voice, rough and broken, cut through the silence.
