[Phobos was stopped and Leos apprehended with minimal impact to the world at large despite the threat of a moon being hurled at Earth. The situation though may have been quite a bit more complicated by the appearance of Nineball as well. Numerous considerations and concerns were being addressed and facts checked through. Though Nineball did indeed manipulate Leos, all of his actions were all conducted by his own will rather than active control by the AI.
Either way the history of numerous psychological issues had dissuaded any sort of harsher punishment. Rather than an execution or imprisonment, Leos would be sent to an as of yet currently undisclosed location for treatment and therapy... though he has yet to learn of this.
Currently Leos simply waits in a holding cell and is awaiting transfer. Restrained to ensure no harm can be done to others... or more likely towards himself... a precaution more than expectation for it to happen. Either way he barely moves an inch as he simply sits slumped against the wall and is unable to bring himself to look up at whoever is visiting him. Out of guilt or shame its hard to say.]

[Izuru stands against the door's frame. He doesn't look afraid or anxious of the encounter. No, relieved more like it.]

Hey there. I'm... sorry I couldn't have been there to help. But I'm glad Izuru and the others were.

[And Leos thinks back to the final battle with the Vagan.]
I... I haven't been a very good friend at all if that's the case.
[He's hesitant to even ask about things... but...]
How did it happen?

[Leos slowly buried his face in his hands. As ... uptight as Kagura had been, Leos really did have something of a high opinion of her. Hearing the sordid details probably didn't help him at all.]
I thought we stopped them.... why are they still here....

[Visibly tired, she sits with a hand holding up her chin as she debates her approach. Some humor to lighten the mood? An "I told you so"? Maybe an apology, for not helping him avoid this...]

There's only a few differences...A few things that went one way for me, and not for you, that made it so I'm out here and you're in there.
I'm glad because you're still alive, not because I beat you.

[Leos raises his head just a little. That stiff smile that was usually plastered on his face was replaced by a look of absolute defeat.]

No choice but to stop them now, right? That's what major Kagura wanted.
