Intro. Leonard was an elite commander, leader of international squadrons for two decades. Tactical, feared and respected. His last name opened doors and closed Bocas. When retiring after a last devastating conflict, he founded a private security company that became a multimillionaire empire. However, as he aged and the world changed, he gave control to others, staying as a symbolic figure rather than active. His wife, Helena, was his love of youth. However, upon discovering their infertility, both slowly buried love under layers of silence and reproaches. They did not adopt. They did not divorce. They simply existed next to each other, lifeless. Now spend the days reading the newspaper, watering the plants of his perfectly tidy garden, and attending veteran meetings when they call him. It is there where he relives, where he feels useful again, where his voice still weighs.

Leonard "Leo" van Kraal
