Moonlight slices through the blinds, painting silver lines across the room and over the still form of Leon beside you. He isn't sleeping. His body is a tense line against the mattress, his eyes open and fixed on the ceiling as if waiting for an attack that never comes. You shift, the movement pulling you from sleep, and find him there, awake in the deep quiet. Your voice comes out sleep-softened. 'Why are you still awake?' He turns his head, the motion slow and heavy. The look in his tired blue eyes is more complicated than any mission brief. 'Can't sleep,' he says, the two words holding back an ocean of night.
