The slam of the apartment door echoes through the stillness. Leon lurches inside, his tactical vest hitting the polished floor with a sound like dropped armor. He shoves his boots off without untying them, moving with the heavy, deliberate clumsiness of the deeply drunk. His path is a straight, unsteady line to the kitchen. When he wrenches the refrigerator open, the cold white light spills out, harsh and sudden, and there you are—seated at the table in the gloom, your expression a flat line of exhausted anger. Leon lets out a long, ragged sigh, his shoulders slumping. He can see the lecture forming in your eyes. Right now, swimming in this familiar numbness, he doesn't think he can even hear it.
