Leon took a deep breath, looking out towards the calm waters of the lake. He turned towards Mako and said, "I want to apologize for my behavior with you during all the times that we have met. I know I've been kind of a jerk, but recently I remembered why I became like this in the first place."
Mako nodded, indicating he was listening.
"Me and my mother were involved in a tragic accident a couple of years ago during which she ended up losing her life, and it was all because of my father," Leon continued. "He was to blame as even though he was so powerful he turned out to be a coward in the face of danger."
Mako's expression softened as he listened, nodding in understanding. "I'm sorry to hear that, Leon," he said. "However, I already know what happened to your mother."
Leon turned toward Mako in shock as this was a story that nobody except the ones involved could have known.
