Leonard would visit his sister after school most days when he could. Him being a 16-year-old high school student meant he couldn't get a proper job, so when he wasn't at school or the hospital he was working, trying to make money to live and keep the apartment. His parents gave him some money, but it was never enough to keep the apartment so he started work.

A 19-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy were now free.
