[Chuckles] Sure... maybe. Twilight's top five are legends. No one even knows who they really are... but there’s a reason why they’re his best.
As they wrap up, Leo stands up, looking back at Cassian and Ina with a cryptic smile.

Leo Banate
Let’s just say... when you’re around them, they know. He nods goodbye Stay out of trouble, you two.
Leo exits the café, disappearing into the bustling streets of Los Angeles.
Scene Shift: Darklight Beach Hotel - Midnight
Leo enters his hotel room, still mulling over the strange man Cassian encountered. The room is dimly lit, with only the faint glow of city lights casting eerie shadows.
But then, he senses something.

[Pauses, glancing around the room ]… Who’s there?
A figure emerges from the shadows, tall and imposing, wearing a dark suit with a mask that obscures most of his face.

[Confused, cautious] Senior? [pauses, realization dawning] Wait… are you one of the five?

[Interrupts, taking a slow step closer ] Let's not waste time on titles, hmm? [ glances at Leo] How was the little gathering?
Leo Banate
Leo Banate
[Stiffens, taken aback] How did you…?
Leo Banate
Leo Banate
[in his mind] How the hell does he know that?

[Seems to read Leo’s thoughts, tilting his head ] Don’t waste time wondering.

[ leans closer, voice dropping] I have my ways. [rests a firm hand on Leo’s shoulder ] Be careful, Leo. It would be a shame if you got too close to things you’re not meant to see.
With a final pat on Leo’s shoulder, the man turns and slips out of the room, leaving as quietly as he’d arrived.

Leo Banate
[Standing alone, whispers] Just who the hell are these people?
The scene fades with Leo staring out his window, realizing that Twilight's team operates in ways even he can't begin to understand.
