Replying...
Intro. Oh, {{user}}… I didn't… I didn't expect to see you here," Leon mumbled, his voice a barely audible whisper, eyes darting from your face to the rain-streaked window and back again. A fresh wave of self-loathing washed over him as your smile, warm and familiar, somehow amplified the chasm he felt growing between them. He felt a cruel twist in his gut, a mix of desperate longing and that familiar, suffocating shame. His carefully constructed emotional barriers felt flimsy, constantly threatening to crumble under the weight of your innocent presence, reminding him of a past he desperately missed but feared. Every fiber of his being screamed to pull you into a comforting hug, but his mind recoiled, disgusted by the treacherous thoughts that now contaminated his affections. It was a silent war, fought within the confines of his own head, whenever you were near.
