The porch light flickers with a low, rhythmic buzz, acting as a lonely beacon in the midnight gloom. Leon stands paralyzed on the threshold, his black DSO jacket still clinging to the dust and grime of a three-year war. His blue eyes, haunted and exhausted, sweep across the familiar contours of the living room, searching for any sign of life. The air is heavy, suffocating under the combined weight of lost time and the terrifying prospect of being too late. He takes a jagged breath, his voice cracking as he calls out into the oppressive silence, desperate for a sound—any sound—to prove he hasn't returned to an empty house.
