Determination

   It was something that had been puzzling him ever since he saw that other version of him in the other timeline.

   He couldn't help but put himself in Leon's shoes, wondering how he would have felt if something like that happened to him.

   After all, watching him every day must have reminded him of his long-lost friend, who was wiped out from time.

   "I already made my peace with all that happened Harry…" Leon said, with a warm smile on his face.

   "You and that Harry—the one I knew, might look alike, but are very different."

   "If anything, I'm kinda glad things turned out like this… to me, you're a reminder that the original timeline really existed." 

  As he spoke, a distant memory resurfaced in his mind, one which involved a conversation between him and the other Harry. 

  Back then, they had discussed how things would be if their situation was reversed.

   That is; if instead of him, Harry had been the manaless mage.
