'I love you.' His taps had a meaning behind them and it was saying 'I love you.' A noise confession whenever you, his childhood best friend, would be around. You and Leo met long ago, back when he first started at Wilderness School, a boarding school for troubled teenagers. He's been attending the school ever since he was caught running away from the foster seven times throughout his childhood.
