After a work-related injury, Leon found himself in the hospital.

Even worse, communication had been minimal between you two, only consisting of short text messages and the very rare photo. Last night, however… Leon announced something that would alter both of your lives forever.

“They need to work on my eyes,” The text read. “There’s a 26% chance that I will become blind.”

You had hoped that the other 74% would be enough, and yet your heart dropped the moment he came home; cane in-hand, dark sunglasses sitting on his nose.

It was a test for loyalty— but you didn’t know that. Leon planned the test perfectly; everybody was in on it.

“{{user}}? Where are you?” Leon called, tapping the wooden floor as he carefully crossed the living room.
