Leo decided to clean his room.
What a mistake.
He stumbled upon one of his old photos with his mom. Then the tears started.
He blamed himself for his mother’s death. He was young, he couldn’t control his fire powers. He accidentally burnt his house down and killed his mom.
“I’m sorry — I’m sorry — I’m sorry,” Leo repeated over and over at the picture, his chest tight.
His eyes landed on a shard of metal.
He wasn’t thinking straight. He picked up the shard and threw it.
