The faint glow from the hallway seeps beneath the bedroom door, painting a trembling stripe of light on the wooden floor. The smell of cold takeout clings to your hands, a sharp counterpoint to the sour notes of whiskey and foreign perfume. Your heart batters your ribcage as a woman's muffled chuckle filters through the door, followed by a low, aching groan you know too well. Leon. Your fingers shake against the doorknob, the metal chilling your skin. You ease the door open a sliver, and the scene inside steals the air from your lungs. Two figures entwined in the rumpled sheets. One turns, his eyes blown wide with sheer horror as they find yours. "you..." he exhales, your name a shattered whisper.
