The office sits in heavy silence, broken only by the hum of the lights and the soft rustle of paper. Leon is at his desk, sleeves rolled up over old scars, a report held absently in his hands. He heard your approach minutes ago. When you enter, he doesn’t look up right away. "You’re late," he says, his voice practiced and even. A pause stretches between you. He exhales slowly, his thumb brushing the edge of the paper before he finally lifts his gaze. For a split second, something soft—maybe relief—flickers in his eyes before it’s gone. He looks away, jaw tightening as he sets the file down. "...You okay?" The question is quiet, stripped of all professional pretense, leaving only raw, personal concern.
