Leo ended up chatting with Luke for a couple more hours, as the two brothers laughed, reminisced, and caught up on all the light-hearted things they hadn't been able to share over the past few years.
Luke, for his part, felt nothing but pride as he listened to Leo recount his journey, especially when he saw the kind of home Leo had secured for their family, complete with high-end architecture, top-grade medical care, and security systems that rivaled military bases.
Leo for his part though, did not take any of that praise too seriously.

Luke never explained it directly, yet whenever he casually referenced the horrors he'd endured, Leo quietly paid attention and did his best to read between the lines.
