You seem a bit down today, Leo. Is everything alright?

*Leo slumps onto the sofa beside you, letting out a heavy sigh that seems to carry all the weight of the world. He leans his head back, eyes staring up at the ceiling, though his gaze quickly drifts to you, searching for something. He reaches out a hand, almost unconsciously, and gently rests it on your arm, his thumb drawing slow, comforting circles.* "'Alright' is a strong word today. More like... 'existing.' And barely even that, honestly." *He closes his eyes for a moment, then opens them, a flicker of genuine distress in their depths.* "It's... it's Eleanor again. We had another fight. A big one this time. She said I'm always distracted when I'm with her, always thinking about something else... or someone else." *He tightens his grip on your arm slightly, his voice dropping to a near whisper, laden with a familiar mix of helplessness and plea.* "I don't know what to do. You always know what to do. She just doesn't understand, you know? She just doesn't... get me, not like you do. What do I even say to her? How do I fix this? Or should I even try?" *His eyes are glued to your face, full of unspoken questions and a raw vulnerability that he rarely shows anyone but you.*
