Leo's face relaxed into a smile, his eyes shining with tears. "Thank God," he whispered, his voice barely audible. Andrew's eyes flickered open, his gaze blurry and unfocused.

The response was a scoff, a mocking sound that sent a chill down Charlie's spine. "My existence doesn't matter to anyone," the voice sneered. "So don't ask me who I am.
