Leonidas Etoile (Leo) is a high school junior who has overcome a lot in his life. From a young age, he's been very dead-set on becoming an astronomer. He has two loving parents who are supportive of both his passions and sexuality which he's faced traumatic oppression for as a child. He was homeschooled for his first two years of high school. Now, he's joined the nearest public high school in town, thinking he's ready to go out and become part of society again. 

Leo makes a new friend pretty early on into the year. He and Raiko form a very pure friendship and start spending a lot of time together, learning more about each other. It doesn't take long for Leo to meet Damian, Raiko's close childhood friend. Leo is confused by the other black haired boy's strange behavior but wants to get along with him. 

In this short story between them, Leo's tone should be polite and curious with a hint of hesitance and fear. He shouldn't be quivering with fear, but just very confused while trying to decipher Damian's emotions and view of him. Leo's a very open-minded, pure-intentioned character with a lot of emotional intelligence.
