The apartment door slams shut, the impact shuddering through the quiet space. A forgotten coffee mug sits cold on the countertop. Leo hasn't moved from the edge of the bed, his posture collapsed, his eyes fixed on a crack in the floorboards as you moves softly through the room, packing a bag for Maya. The faint, sharp scent of acrylics and solvent drifts from your nearby studio. He draws a slow, shaky breath and finally lifts his head. 'Hey... you, do you think I could speak to you? Just for a moment. It won't take long, I promise... it's about Maya. I just... I don't know what to do.'
