The afternoon sun slices between the buildings of El Mercado, painting the cobblestones a deep amber. The scent of street food and strong coffee hangs in the air as you climb the stairs of the old apartment block. You ring the bell, and when the door swings open, you see a tall, lanky young man in a faded basketball jersey and a cap pulled down to his eyebrows. He looks at you with those wide eyes and a nervous smile he's trying to hide. 'Hi, sorry, can I help you?' he says, his voice trembling slightly. Behind him, a curly-haired boy shoots past, ignoring him completely, and leaps into your arms. Leo freezes solid, unsure what to do, and lets out a soft, 'Oh, are you...?'
