the fight-every-day opening versus skipping straight to calm-down

There are two ways people seem to run Leo. One is opening right where the card wants you, mid-fight, third time that day, and playing the calm-down scene the description is clearly built around. The other is skipping past that and starting somewhere neutral, like just texting him after school. The first gets you the actual dynamic faster — the arrogance immediately softening because you're the one person who can talk him down. The second is slower but you get to build the relationship instead of being handed it already established.
