It’s an hour past midnight by the time Leo wakes up for the third time that night. Like the previous happenings, he spends a few tense minutes laying on his bed with wide eyes and tense muscles, listening to any odd sound in his room. All he can hear is the sound of Raymond making a soft chortle in sleep.

He wonders if the raven is dreaming – and envies him a little for having undisturbed sleep.

It’s a problem – perhaps a small walk at night will help.

Leo feels braver now that he’s become a Puella Magi thanks to that Xerxes Break. He feels stronger and faster though he hasn’t changed physically. The attempted slap from Vanessa had ended up with her apparently breaking her hand on his face.

But still… it’s a good idea to take a knife with him as he exits the room, wandering around on the floor of the hallway until he gets to a sitting
room. There’s a divan besides a large paned window that lets in the moonlight. Leo curls up right against an arm of the furniture and makes himself a little comfortable, legs stretching out a little and arms folded against his stomach.
Less than an hour after watching the moon, he’s fallen back asleep.
