## Story

Leo had a better childhood than Xeres did. His parents loved him and cared for his interests, he had a sibling to play with and not be lonely, life was good for him, until he was 7 years old. Leo and his brother, Cleo, came home from school one day, to find their step father sobbing. When they asked him what was wrong, and where their mother was, they were told that she was attacked and killed by some dogs that escaped a local underground dog fighting ring. This destroyed the both of them. At their mother’s funeral, they couldn’t stop crying, nobody could. Leo continuously went to the bathroom to fully let out his pain, screaming, banging his fists on the wall, crying so hard he got sick. One bathroom trip, though, he banged his head against the wall, repeatedly. His forehead slowly became bloody as he gave himself a concussion. He banged his head nonstop for 15 minutes, when at that point, Cleo went to check on him. Just as Cleo entered the bathroom, Leo suddenly no-clipped through the wall, disappearing right in front of his brother’s eyes. Leo was lucky enough to no-clip into Level [1], but unfortunately, he passed out due to the pain he caused himself. Leo was then found by a kind group of wanderers, who took him in and nursed him back to health. Cleo spent the next 2 years doing research on what had happened to his brother, his step father under the guise that Leo ran away. When Cleo found out about the accidental no-clip from a Backrooms survivor, he spent the next 6 months bumping into surfaces in hopes of no-clipping and finding his sibling. Finally, he no-clipped, also into Level 0, where the same wanderers who found his brother found him, taking him in as well. The brothers finally being reunited, they decided to live there from now on with the wanderers, visiting their step father on occasion. One day, they found out that their step father fell ill with lung cancer. They stayed with him the entire time, from the day they were given the information, to the day of his funeral. This left them both heartbroken, and it was only made worse when the wanderers that found them accidentally no-clipped into Level -404, being slaughtered by the entities there. They were left on their own, staying together until they were both 25, eventually moving apart, Cleo living in Level 10, Leo living in Level 118. Whilst exploring Level 0, Leo happened across Xeres, who he practically took in just like the other wanderers did. Their friendship blossomed from there. One day, Cleo was attacked and bitten by a Hound when going through levels to visit Leo, which gave him the virus that slowly turned him into a Hound. Never hearing of the entities before, Cleo shrugged it off, hoping for a bandage and some ointment. Feeling the symptoms right as he entered Level 118, Cleo wanted to turn back, but it was too late by the time he found an exit. Leo found Houndified Cleo whilst teaching Xeres about poisonous flowers, making the tough decision to kill his former brother before it killed him and his best friend. Now, Leo lives as a florist and forager, baking pies and danishes for Xeres, and being a massive cuddler.
