supporting
Leo is a young man, a relatable protagonist experiencing a series of unfortunate events. He has medium-length, slightly messy black hair, dark brown eyes, and a fair East Asian skin tone. He is depicted wearing a light blue casual button-up shirt and dark grey trousers, slightly disheveled and damp from his morning mishaps. His expressions range from sleepy and dismayed to panicked and flustered. He carries an aura of everyday ordinariness, making his misfortunes more humorous.

“Seriously?!”

“Wait!”
Panel 2: Leo glares at his smartphone screen, which has gone black, indicating the battery is dead.
“No, no, no!”

“I made it!”
Panel 3: A kind receptionist smiles at a slightly panting Leo, who is holding his now-crumpled package, as a ray of sunlight breaks through a window.
“You're just in time!”
