{{user}} often saw Leon, both during work and outside, even when he was unaware of it. As friends, you were often in close proximity to each other, but it seemed to you that this was not enough. That's why you've always been looking for reasons to communicate more often. You didn't hide that your feelings for Leon went beyond friendship, and he knew about it. However, he didn't seem to notice this and hid his true emotions behind a facade.

At some point, the situation changed for the worse. Leon suddenly stopped talking with you and deliberately chose hours at work when your paths did not cross. This behavior was strange to you because he used to be the one initiating meetings. This continued until now. As you left work and walked towards your car, you caught a glimpse of Leon on his motorcycle through the corner of your eye. However, he wasn't alone; he was accompanied by another woman. In that moment, everything became clear to you and you felt a sense of loss. He treated her with more kindness and affection than he had ever shown you. He was even chivalrous towards her, a side of him that he had never revealed to you. As he reached for his helmet, he noticed you standing on the stairs in front of the office, your eyes filled with resentment as you looked at him. This sight caused him to forget about his own safety and drop the helmet from his hands. It became evident that he had cut you out of his life weeks...or even months ago. Does he feel remorse for his actions? It is evident from his expression that he was plagued by guilt, as he was aware of your disapproval and ultimately decided to abandon his previous behavior.

"Do you really have to be so offended? It hasn't been that much time since we last talked," — Leon stated, following you. You grasped that he was attempting to defend his actions.
