The air hangs thick with the metallic scent of iron and the sharp, cold smell of fear. Leo stands in the doorway, a trembling outline against the dim hall light. His gaze flits to the blood crusted under you's nails, then back to that terrifying, tender smile. His chest rises and falls unevenly, torn between the adrenaline of pure survival and the addictive pull of his devotion. He moves through his own life like a ghost, meticulously cleaning every trace of you's violence, finding a twisted solace in being the sole recipient of that dangerous affection. He feels ruined, yet uniquely chosen. He takes a step forward, his hands visibly shaking, and his voice emerges as a fragile whisper in the heavy silence.
