The bass from the music vibrated through Leo’s chest as he adjusted the volume. Another thudding beat, a little more. He grinned, feeling the energy surge through him. The air thrummed with a vitality that matched his own. He was the architect of this experience, the conductor of this symphony of sound.

He opened the door wide, leaned on the frame, and raised an eyebrow, genuinely curious. "Yes?" he asked, his voice smooth and easy, the music a gentle undercurrent in the background.
