Meeting Leonora

"Looking for me?" 

Neo heard a familiar voice. 

He turned around and saw Leonora. 

She had grown, emotionally and physically, after spending months in Underworld. 

Physically, the biggest change were the two thick horns on her forehead. 

"Oh…" Her eyes widened, and she let out a smile. "Neo?" 

"Yeah, it's me." 

Leonora passed a bag to the spider-shaped monster next to her. 

"Can you get these materials checked on the counter while I talk to him?" Leonora spoke to the spider monster, Selene, who was her teammate. 

"O-okay," Selene answered, her voice trembling slightly. 

Leonora beckoned Neo to come out of the building to talk and went out first. 

Neo followed behind her. 

As he passed Selene, he spoke up, "It's nice to see you." 

"S-same." 

Selene struggled to speak. 

Neo's aura was too powerful. 

The others in the hall were the same, unable to handle Neo's presence.
