—

When LEO (they/them) and their partner JULI (she/her) find themselves in a threatening, violent situation at night, the defense escalates: LEO defends them both and seriously injures the attacker. In shock, they flee. While LEO teaches others during the day how to assert their own bodies, silence grows around the incident. As they try to process their actions, the boundaries between guilt, trauma, and justice become blurred.But what happens when the body remembers? Who bears the consequences?
