"After all, I was a 'fabled' natural awakener."

As someone who awakened by ingesting an Enigma Stone, Leo couldn't relate to the supposedly fortunate Kara, but he could tell she didn't enjoy that fortune.
"For someone like me, this great blessing was nothing more than a curse. A parasite that turned my once happy life into a pit of despair."
'Interesting.'
The dramatic description finally triggered Leo's curiosity about this forgotten character.
