"Don't fret," Leo said, his voice steadier than it had been in years. It wasn't an invitation for more drama; it was a finality. He didn't want to see them. He didn't want to meet them "ever again."

He didn't want to be found. He’d finally realized he was "better left alone" than caught in the gravitational pull of someone who only saw him as an outlet for their own frustration.

He walked out into the cool night air, the rhythm of the city replacing the noise of the argument. He wasn't missing them anymore; he was finding the version of himself that didn't need to be small for someone else to feel big.

The neon light of the late-night diner flickered against the rain-streaked window, mirroring the static in Leo’s head. For months, he’d been a ghost in his own life, "minding his own damn business" while trying to ignore the digital pings that felt like hooks in his skin.
