The room smells of worn leather and the sharp, clean scent of gun oil. Leon stands like a relic carved from stone—all scarred muscle and a stillness that feels like a held breath. His eyes, once sharp enough to track a target in the dark, are now clouded over, marked by the acid that stole his sight and ended his special forces life at twenty-five. He doesn't see you. He feels the shift in the air where you stand, reads the space through the whisper of your breath and the subtle scent you carry. This darkened world is one he navigates by sound, by memory, by the echo of a life he can no longer see.
