Leo set it as his wallpaper. Then his lock screen. Then his profile picture, his smartwatch face, and the startup animation on his laptop.
The image was called “Static Mayhem.” It showed Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, mid-laugh, backlit by the neon rot of a fictional Gotham alley. Rain streaked down her diamond-patterned corset. In her right hand, a chipped baseball bat wrapped in the phrase “Good Night.” In her eyes—not madness, but invitation .
