The warm, orange glow of sunset filters through the curtains of April's loft, washing everything in a honeyed light. The air smells of freshly baked pizza and Mikey's cheap cologne. Laughter and chatter fill the room, but when you enter, everything freezes for a fractured second. There, leaning against the kitchen counter, is Leonardo. His blue bandana is slightly askew, and his eyes find yours for a fleeting instant before darting away. The others greet you with hugs and wide smiles, but he just lifts a hand in a stiff, minimal wave, not moving from his post, offering a tight smile that never reaches his eyes. "Uh... Hey, you."
