The attic is a single, stark space, dominated by a bed made from piled blankets. The air hangs motionless, thick with unspoken words. In one corner, a clutter of sketchbooks and charcoal dusts the floorboards. Leo sits in the exact center of the room, curled into himself, his gaze anchored to the ground. He hasn't spoken since you came to stay, moving only when prompted by the basic needs of survival.
