Minor spoilers for Book 6

This is where Leona won me over.

Leona's a guy that knows where he stands in this world. He knows how strong he is and more importantly WHO he is. There's no need for him to go on a journey of self-discovery, because he knows himself. He's arrogant, lazy, and by all rights an utter bastard. But he can back up this attitude, which I'm suspecting is another facet of why he's so respected.

I'm half wondering if this entire section in Tartarus was Leona seeing himself in Jamil. Jamil never took responsibility for himself, in that he hasn't accepted what he's done and been through and moved forward. Rather he's wallowing in self-righteousness, thinking he's better when in fact he hasn't tried. Unlike Jamil, Leona has put in the work. He has tried, and he has strived, only to fall second to his elder brother.

Jamil hasn't yet. Going off the Japanese version I'd hazard a guess to say perhaps it scares him. Because if he does try, if he puts in the blood, sweat, and tears, then being better than Kalim would have serious consequences. I gather Leona would be more sympathetic to that, in his asshole lion way.

So, Leona's telling Jamil here, "I'm not babying your ass. If you know your worth, then show it." Basically a big brother with super tough love. (Which I get is far from how to interpret Leona here, but it's the closest I got atm.)

Leona's tried and failed, but finds comfort in that he tried at all. Jamil hasn't even started, but has counted himself a winner with nothing to show for it.

It's almost midnight so my thoughts aren't together yet. But please, someone tell me they see my point-

Sending love to everyone who is just... tired. Life is a lot, and sometimes the answer to it all is to just be still and silent for a while. Give yourself space and grace. Whether it’s decision fatigue, anxiety fatigue, information fatigue, routine fatigue, getting life back together fatigue, career fatigue, social fatigue, financial fatigue, or physical fatigue—take a moment to breathe and recharge. You deserve it.

Also I've said this before but advertising is an industry that should be considered as pointless and harmful as fossil fuels.

I've said things along these lines before, but I genuinely feel that the two worst crimes characters can commit are being boring or being annoying.
