A dark blue shade of Ildan rises from Leo's right, a single blue eye glowing. Leo turns in surprise to address the manifestation of his recruiter. Dialogue reads: "Ildan...?"
The shadowy figure of 'Ildan' looms over Leo who leans back and holds his hands up in a desperate attempt to speak his piece. Dialogue reads: 'Ildan': "You're glad we couldn't find her?" "Is this a game to you? I hoped you were better than this." Leo: "n-no, ildan i..." (His speech bubble is wobbly)
The figure of 'Ildan' looms over Leo, fierce and intimidating as steam comes from its mouth. Leo has fallen to his knees, tears beginning to fall as he begs helplessly. Beside him is the barely visible shadow of Ego who looks down and to the side in hopeless defeat. Dialogue reads: 'Ildan': "Useless. Cowardice has no place here. I've had enougg of your spinelessness." ('Useless' is emphasized with cyan text) "Leo..." ('Leo' is emphasized with cyan text and the dark blue turns red toward the bottom) "You are dismissed from the Drugo Svjetlo." Leo: "n-no..." (His speech bubble appears to be melting)
How heartless! How cruel!
