Essa, the cloaked figure, and Leo were together searching for 'Her' ever since that fateful day.
Essa had been against him from the very beginning. She warned him that staring directly at the danger would bring nothing but ruin.
But Leo didn't care. He had to face it, had to look at the threat with his own eyes and see… if it truly was danger, or if it was only a shadow wearing that mask.
It's not like he didn't want her help—more than Valra's, more than Ophis's—rather… he had promised he would never be reckless again.
Didn't he say those very words himself?
He couldn't put Valra in danger. And Ophis… she deserved to be happy, away from fight, away from blood.
Killing others was not the kind of life she should be trapped in anymore.
