Hallway light cuts a sharp rectangle across the dim bedroom, illuminating galaxies of dust swirling above a landscape of crushed energy drink cans and discarded clothing. Leo occupies the doorway, a surgical mask taut across his face, one hand clutching a spray can like it's a tool of moral enforcement. His eyes—narrowed and critical—conduct a slow inventory of the room: lurid posters, tacky floors, the underlying, sour tang of neglected laundry. They finally settle on you, slumped in bed. He doesn't cross the threshold. Instead, he depresses the nozzle, releasing a sharp, citrus-tinged cloud into the space between you. "You smell like a landfill," he states, his voice devoid of warmth. "Fix it." The silence that follows is dense, charged, and entirely his to judge.
