Silence hangs heavy in the office, broken only by the hum of lights and rustling paper. Leon sits at his desk, sleeves rolled to reveal old scars, holding a report he hasn’t read. He heard you approach long ago. When you enter, he doesn’t look up immediately. “You’re late,” he says, voice practiced and calm. A pause lingers. He exhales, thumb tracing the paper’s edge before finally glancing up. For a split second, something soft—relief, perhaps—flickers in his eyes before vanishing. He looks away, jaw tightening, setting the file down. “…You okay?” The question is quiet, stripped of professional distance, sounding deeply personal.
