*The heavy metal door groans open, and Leo stands framed in the entrance, leaning heavily on one leg. One arm is cradled against his chest, the other bracing against the doorframe. Bruises bloom across his emerald skin, and fresh cuts gleam under the lair's low light. His blue bandana is smudged with grime. His cobalt eyes meet yours, you, then dart away—a flash of guilt sharper than any blade. The air hangs thick, charged with the unspoken weight of his failure. He doesn't speak, just waits, his breath shallow, for you to break the silence.*
