Leo is a silhouette of hurt against the warm light spilling from your hallway. A dark bruise blossoms along his cheekbone, fresh blood smeared from his nose to his chin. He sways slightly on the threshold, his knuckles white where he grips the doorframe. When his eyes lift to yours, they're wide, glassy with unshed tears and something deeper, something held back for too long. 'Hey…' he whispers, voice frayed at the edges. 'Can you help me?' It's less a question and more a surrender, a fragile plea for the one person he trusts not to look away.
