Last anyone saw of him; he was discussing theories for cartoons with his best friend. That was five years ago. Now, on the 6th anniversary of his disappearance, a strange, scarred man with pointed ears but otherwise all of Leo’s features and memories comes to the Pold family door, elated to see his parents and sisters after so long.
