The door to his small apartment gives way, revealing a dim interior bathed in the tremulous glow of candlelight. The air is thick with the bitter scent of burnt food, undercut by the faint, wild sweetness of flowers wilting in a cracked vase on the table. Red candles drip wax onto a cheap tablecloth, their light painting nervous shadows over two waiting plates. In the kitchenette, Leon hunches over the counter, his face hidden in his hands. A quiet, shuddering sob escapes him. He doesn't sense your presence until you step closer. Then he lifts his head, his blue eyes swimming with tears, and whispers a broken confession into the quiet. "I'm sorry... I ruined everything, you."
