kalim's offhand sentence of the possibility of them meeting as kids popped up when i heard about the afterglow savanna event coming onto jp
no idea why but it got me thinking what if maybe kalim did visit afterglow savanna, found kid leona napping and seeing no one around him, decided to watch over him. at this age he thinks getting assassinated or kidnapped is a thing that Happens (still havent finished watching all the events yet so i might be wrong and that he internalised it differently) he didnt want that to happen to anyone, so he keeps an eye on kid leona
but eventually he gets sleepy. leona wakes up to a stranger kid using his arm as a pillow
[ID: three images of a lineless Alastor fanart and sscreensho redraw of his movie director costume from episode 1. His skin is gray and there is a lavender-ish light casting a glow on his right side. He is standing smiling, his right hand is holding his radio-can behind his back while his left is snapping its fingers. The palette of colors used floats on his upper right. The upper left has a transparent background a deep purple shadow, the upper left has a lagoon green background and a greyish blue shadow and the last one has a deep but bright pink background and a pale and greyish green shadow]
