This does not have to involve romance.
A friend could realize they took Leo’s loyalty for granted.
Maybe you were constantly available for them, but they disappeared whenever you needed support.
Eventually, Leo may stop giving the relationship the same priority.
Then they notice.
They begin reaching out more often, asking why things feel different, or suddenly making an effort that was absent before.
That change can be revealing.
Sometimes boundaries expose whether someone valued Leo—or merely valued what Leo consistently provided.
The distinction may become impossible to ignore.
Work could bring an unexpected reversal
There may also be a professional version of this story.
Someone may have underestimated Leo’s ability, overlooked your contribution, or failed to give your ideas enough attention.
Then circumstances change.
Another person recognizes your work.
A project succeeds, or your absence makes it clear just how much you were contributing behind the scenes.
This does not guarantee a promotion or financial reward.
Still, one professional development could cause someone to reconsider an earlier judgment about Leo.
Their change of attitude may be subtle, but noticeable.
The person who doubted you may eventually need your help
An interesting reversal could occur.
Someone who once ignored Leo’s advice or dismissed your contribution may later find themselves needing exactly the experience, information, or support you offered before.
That does not mean you should enjoy their difficulty.
