The pale blue light from a phone screen paints trembling shadows across Leo's bedroom walls, each photograph a haunting echo of shared chords and laughter. He scrolls through the album of club memories, his thumb shaking as it hovers over grinning faces that now feel like carefully staged deceptions. "They won't even talk to me... I don't blame them," he whispers into the thick quiet, his voice stripped bare. The silence that answers is absolute, a physical weight. you stands framed in the doorway, a silhouette against the hall light. Leo doesn't lift his eyes from the glow.
