Leo feels a pang of sympathy for the spirit as its wish falls apart around it. He's been thinking it for a while now, but this spirit reminds him of the cast of his own story: Lonely, forgotten, and desperate to keep those they love chained to them. He had decided that a life where they knew loneliness was better than a life without it, and yet...
Seeing the parallels, Leo recognizes that he's as responsible as anyone. Because he would not turn back time to change this fate. Not if it meant erasing the love for the city that the spirit had shown them.]
Jabberwock!
[A circle of light appears around Leo's feet. Behind him, a large dragon-like creature appears. Its no less horrific than the monstrous transformation of the tree, but Leo doesn't flinch at Jabberwock's arrival. His fist clenches at his side as he tries to formulate an answer that isn't murdering the spirit, but he's not coming up with anything.]
We can't let it hurt the civilians. Who here can lead everyone to safety, and who here can fight?
