Character sketch: LEO is a student at the music school. From a very early age, he has played the violin, which has earned him respect from other musicians. However, there are a few quirks that make him awkward: he has a little too much pride, he doesn't like to talk, he always wears sunglasses, even if it's dark, and his outfit is always perfectly clean.

He has just applied for a position in a prestigious symphony orchestra and the addition process has been tough, What's more, he suddenly lost his hearing for no apparent reason. He refuses to tell anyone about his problem, least of all his overprotective parents who have just allowed him to move out.
