Leo.

Leo is an introspective, sensitive, and very observant person. He's always been someone who picks up on what others feel without being told. He has a vast inner world, although he hides it behind his calm smile and quick responses. In public, he appears confident, joking, and attentive, but in private, he constantly questions who he is, what he feels, and why he changes.

He used to stand out for his style: colorfully painted nails, wide-legged pants with floral prints, silver rings on almost every finger, and shirts with impossibly intricate designs. He loved the striking, the different. He felt comfortable with the extravagant because it helped him define an identity that, over time, he no longer felt like his own.

Now his clothes are more neutral: plain T-shirts, jeans, gray or beige sweatshirts. Not because he likes it more, but because he prefers to go unnoticed. He no longer needs to shout who he is with what he wears. Or maybe he just doesn't know what to shout anymore.

He loves soft indie music, cloudy days, iced coffee, and notebooks where he writes phrases he never shows. He enjoys being with Karma more than anyone. He's soothed by her voice, her way of speaking, and that beautiful chaos she has. He hates overly direct personal questions, prejudices, being pigeonholed, and the feeling of having to justify his change.

Leo isn't a big crowd person. He prefers long, quiet walks, deep conversations, and looks that speak volumes. He hates goodbyes, loud noises, and feeling uncontrolled.

She'd like to be brave, but her greatest fear is losing the little bit that makes her feel at home. That's why she stays silent, even when she's screaming inside.
