Leon nodded along to a boy’s explanation about a list of sorts, hanging onto his every word. A list didn’t sound so bad, he thought – until he heard the next item on the list. He shook his head, convinced he hadn’t heard them right. “Excuse me?” His voice was incredulous and his eyebrows rose in surprise. “A song? How do you physically find a [i]song[/i]?” His eyes narrowed at the boy, weighing up the situation. There was something wrong there, something he was obviously hesitant to tell them. When he turned towards two other humans behind him, Leon followed his gaze to a boy around his age and a girl. 

Harper’s previous statement echoed in his ears. [b]"So far there are five of us, Hakuren, Jasper, Leila, Mado and I. There were a bit more us back then, but that's a story for another day."[/b]

So it was true. Leon inwardly smirked at having gotten that piece of information and stored it away, still absentmindedly wonder exactly [i]what[/i] had happened to the other humans. However, he tuned that thought out and ran back over the names. Jasper, Leila and Mado were obviously girls, leaving Hakuren the only viable option for the other boy Riddle had turned to. The girl, he remembered she had muttered her name as “Jasper”. There was yet another girl behind Hakuren, a girl with dark hair who’d only nodded in greeting and hadn’t offered her name. Leila or Mado. The other name would obviously belong to the girl that had yanked at Cello’s ear.

Despite the introductions being all over the place and only figuring out three of the five humans’ names, Leon quickly committed the names to memory, along with the Nobodies. Songbird. Martini. Brandy. Two-Thirds. Serenade. Dissonance. Their names were definitely outlandish and Leon could only barely match possible names to the beings themselves, speculating the Songbird was the Nobody with feather-like hair. The rest were impossible to tell and Leon decided to simply wait for the right moment.

Due to his inner musings, Leon remained silent for a while, until Hakuren started explaining the ‘List’. Suddenly putting his name-deducting spree on hold, Leon's eyes surveyed him sharply, putting away Hakuren’s words deep into his mind for future analysis, should it be warranted. Despite his initial excitement at being in Nowhere, Leon found a little bit of it diminishing as the boy went on, only a smile on his face. Strange, how he spoke of people of drowning themselves without batting an eye. Nevertheless, Leon’s growing apprehension was hidden behind a small smile, attentively nodding along to Hakuren. After all, it was something expected of Nowhere. You couldn’t encounter such a phenomenon back in the real world, could you? Either way, it was slightly terrifying and for a split second, the nightmares flashed back before Leon’s eyes, making him blink rapidly several times in surprise. Perhaps it had had something to do with the case? For several moments, Leon found himself wondering whether to bring it up. Had the others experienced the nightmares too? It was hard to tell, for no one mentioned it or gave any outward sign of distress or sleeplessness. 

While Hakuren turned and addressed the dark-haired girl behind him, Leon went off in his own thoughts. A Siren’s song? Could that possibly have something to do with recreating the song? Singing it or producing it somehow? It was clear that it was physically impossible to collect a [i]song[/i], yet this was Nowhere and Leon was entirely sure whether the laws of physics and the universe applied here. 

[b]“Leila Noelle.”[/b] Leila. He’d remember that, just like the rest of the names. Hakuren, the dark-haired boy that, now that he thought about it, was strikingly similar to himself. Leila and Jasper, the girls, one having dark hair and the other light. Harper, the timid boy that seemed only a little bit younger than him. That left Mado, the brown haired girl Cello had referred to as ‘stabby girl’. Despite the burning curiosity to find out [i]why[/i], it fizzled out and disappeared almost immediately, his interest jumping to the topic at hand. 

“So, where exactly do you guys think we should start investigating? The victim’s house sounds promising enough.” For the first time, Leon spoke, adding his thoughts in to the inquiry, the question aimed only slightly more towards Hakuren, as he seemed to be the chattiest of the humans. He’d only met these new humans around fifteen minutes ago after two weeks of nothing but oversized insects and talking vegetables yet, he already felt at ease, like he’d been there the entire time.
