When Kefka told him that Celes had betrayed the Empire, Leo could only stare in shock. The other general was convulsed with a fit of giggles at the thought of her execution.

"Leave me."

Kefka went, and Leo sat there in shock. Part of him wanted to go rescue her, but she was a traitor.

By day, he commanded his troops. At night, he grieved alone in silence for her. A messenger brought news that she had escaped, and though he knew it was disloyal, in the deepest corners of his heart, he admitted he was glad to hear it.
