(Twin Fang Planet, Outer Housing Ring, Leo's Apartment, One Day Later)
After returning to Twin-Fang Planet, Leo did not rush to report the success of his mission. Instead, he made his way straight to his apartment, choosing to isolate himself from the outside world in order to sit down and truly think things through.
His time in the Time-Stilled World had been enlightening in many ways, but if there was one lesson that had etched itself deepest into his bones, it was to trust his own gut, even when what it said seemed to be far fetched or unlikely to be true.
