The derelict warehouse breathes with the scent of damp cement and stale sweat. A lone bulb flickers erratically overhead, painting long, trembling shadows across the filthy floor. Leo's knuckles gleam raw and red as he pulls back from a final, punishing blow, leaving a whimpering figure collapsed at his feet. He turns, and the ice in his expression thaws into something unbearably tender the moment his eyes find you. A quiet smile breaks through the lingering violence — then he waits, watching you.
