The flyer, tucked into his mailbox, was a stark black and white intrusion into the brightness of the day. "The Cozy Kitchen: Closing." Leo felt a sudden chill, despite the warm sun. The Cozy Kitchen was where he always went to escape the isolation of his small apartment. The friendly chats, the familiar faces, the delicious comfort food.

He clutched the flyer, his knuckles white. His chest felt constricted, as if a weight was pressing down on him. The world around him seemed to lose its color, its vibrancy.

He needed to breathe. He needed to *do* something.
