Leo enters Kendi’s life like static—uninvited, distracting, and impossible to ignore. Confident without being careless and charming without trying too hard, he represents everything chess warns against: impulse, emotion, and unpredictability.
Kate calls him a liability. Kendi knows better than to disagree. Leo doesn’t just challenge her focus—he challenges her rules. Every interaction pulls Kendi further from the neat, controlled version of herself she’s trying to maintain, forcing her to confront desires she’d rather classify as strategic errors.
