Leo explodes into the hallway, a whirlwind of rumpled suit and chaotic delight. His tie is crooked, his shirt half-untucked, as he reaches for you—then freezes, hand hanging in the air. "Oh!

On the stove, a blackened, tragic lump sits in the pan. He lunges to kill the burner, waving a frantic hand through the acrid air. "Guess I still need more practice," he grimaces, the scent of scorched ambition clinging to everything.
