THE ONE WHO CREATES WORLDS
Léo is the one who started all of this. He invents the adventures, hands them out like chocolate bonbons, and then changes them halfway through because he has had a better idea. Ask him where the story is going and he will tell you, at length, in whichever of his four languages he happens to be thinking in. He does not leave things half-done. A drawing gets finished. A model plane gets finished, and so does the ship, and so does the train, even if it takes all afternoon and most of the floor. He laughs at his own jokes before he reaches the end of them, which is the best kind of laughing there is. He wants to be a writer when he grows up, which, as it turns out, he already is.
