Third Level [12]

Lionel stared at the familiar figure ahead of him. 

'He's different,' Lionel noticed. 

The change seemed to have started after they left that woman on the tree. 

Regarding that lady, Lionel still felt conflicted about their decision, though he knew why they had done it.

'What's different though?' 

Lionel tilted his head slightly as he seriously pondered.

Something was different about Leo. 

He could sense it. 

No, he could even see it. 

But what it was, Lionel couldn't tell. 

'Yes. He seems to be fighting… better.'

Realising this, Lionel's eyebrows shot up in surprise. 

Ever since they teamed up, Lionel could tell that while this older brother figure friend of his seemed to be smart, strong, and knew how to make great decisions, he was terrible at fighting. 

Lionel could see it. 

However, he had no plans of revealing his thoughts to his friend.
