As Sam listened to Leo describe the first time he used his chosen name in public, the tension in their shoulders finally began to melt. Outside, the rain continued, but inside The Kaleidoscope, the world was bright, loud, and entirely theirs.
"Rough night for a walk?" Leo asked, offering a dry towel. "I'm Leo. This is Maya. We were just about to start a fresh pot of tea."
The teenager hesitated, then took the towel. "I’m Sam," they whispered. "I... I think I’m in the right place."
Their conversation was interrupted by the chime of the front door. A teenager stood there, shivering and soaking wet. They looked around tentatively, eyes landing on a small "All Are Welcome" sign. Leo stood up, his movements practiced and warm.
