Power is something people like to pretend they fear.
They act humble, hide it, wait for the right opportunity, talk about balance and responsibility.
But the truth is simple.
Power is meant to be seen.
A strength no one sees is no different from having nothing at all. A hidden blade stays hidden, a buried star stays buried, and the world moves on without ever knowing it existed.
Leon never found any meaning in hiding what he could do. If he was strong, then he would make sure the world knew it.
Even at the Eclipse he never held back anything except his Light. At that time, it made sense to him. Revealing it too early would only bring unnecessary trouble. Even now, part of him still thinks the same.
But… Silvermoon wanted him exposed. She made sure Veronica forced him to display the one thing he kept hidden.
