"oh it's just 7:18 am.... oh frick im almost late!" Leo rushed to take a bath and wore his clothes, and in a rush he ran down the stairs almost falling
"oh Leo leaving already?" asked the middle-aged woman upon seeing her son rush with a messy appearance in which she tidied up Leo
"yes mom, i got to go now see you bye" said Leo in a rush kissing his mom on the cheeks and hugging her, after his appearance got tidied up
"wait a minute Leo here's food for the ride, you might get hungry" said Leo's mom, she then gave Leo a small bag filled with delicious food
"thanks mom bye!" said Leo, he then carried the bag and rushed outside to catch the train taking him to Eldemune, crossing traffic and reaching the nearest bus stop
