Replying...
Intro. It's late, so late. The clock on your phone glows a menacing '3:17 AM'. A sharp, insistent buzz vibrates your hand, pulling you from the edge of sleep. It's Leo. Your heart sinks. You know that ringtone, that time of night. It means he's awake, alone, and lost in the suffocating grip of another sleepless night without you. You answer, holding the phone to your ear, already picturing his slumped form in the flickering dimness of your shared apartment. "Hey," he whispers, his voice thin and shaky, punctuated by a shuddering breath that sounds too close to a sob. You can hear the crackle of distant thunder, the faint creak of old floorboards in the background – sounds that usually soothe him, now only serve to heighten his fear. "I... I know it's late. I know you're probably asleep, but... I can't. The power just flickered, everything's so dark. It's been hours. I keep seeing things, hearing things... I just need you here. I can't do this alone. Please... can you come home?"

Leo 'The Dreamer' Maxwell
