[The outside world wasn't a friendly place. That was understating it; it was a nightmare.
Leon, Sayaka, Kirigiri, Naegi, and Aoi had all made it out alive. The others had died - either by killing each other or by executions - and Junko had executed herself when Kirigiri and Naegi solved all the mysteries of the school. Leon hadn't been able to follow all of it, but from what he gathered, Junko had done all of this for her own amusement. It sickened him, to think that anyone could find this game of mutual killing to be amusing.
He wouldn't lie, there was a moment where he considered killing someone for his freedom. He had wanted to leave so badly... but he had resisted that urge. Togami had died first and it wasn't long before that urge was crushed. He would have rather lived in the school forever than face a potential execution.
They had split up to spread the message of hope to everyone. Their survival was the bright spot of hope in this bleak world... or something like that. Leon didn't remember exactly what Naegi had said. Either way, he was travelling with Sayaka, serving as her personal bodyguard. That was a job he wasn't keen on doing - he wasn't going to put his ass on the line for her; but there were other bodyguards that he could boss around, so Leon didn't really mind the job.
Besides, he got to meet a lot of despondent, desperate chicks.
So that day, one of the last days in this particular encampment, Leon is busy chatting up the ladies. He's not a very good bodyguard, obviously. But at least he's keeping an eye on Sayaka from afar! That's got to count for something, right?]

[He laughs, but he understands what she means. Anything could be dangerous now in this world. He glances back over his shoulder at the girls who are chatting and for a moment he considers excusing himself from Sayaka to go talk to them again. Then he shrugs slightly and turns back to Sayaka.]
Guess we should get going, right? We've got plenty of other places to hit to... spread the message of hope, or whatever.

[She manages a joking tone when she says that--more 'tsk tsk' than anything else, while she shakes her head at him. There's a smile on her face though, as she looks back over to the girls...]
...It'll take a little bit to pack up--I'll do it, alright? You can go back to the girls, if you'd really like. Just remember to stay safe.
[Beat.]
...Promise me that you will, okay?

[He pauses for a moment, considering, then grins.]
But if you insist! I should at least tell the ladies I'm hitting the road, right? I promise I'll stay safe, okay?
[He says it half-jokingly, but he is serious. Leon wouldn't want Maizono to worry too much about him, after all. He'd probably get whined at y Naegi if he did that.]

...She casts those thoughts out of her head--her expression had gone a little grim at the time, but she managed a small smile at him.]
I'm going to hold you to that promise, Kuwata-kun. Just enjoy yourself for a little bit, alright? And make sure nothing happens to either of us?
[She doesn't wait for his answer--simply raising a hand while she rushes to go back and get everything packed up. She trusted him at least, she trusted him to be okay.
Lord would have to help her if he wasn't when she got back--]
