'That's just bullshit.' Leon thought cleanly, for Rumi to hear it.
As a True Spirit, Rumi had read and understood all of Leon's past, present, and the future he wished to achieve.

After his transmigration, Leon didn't hold vague goals such as returning home knowing full well it's stupidity to return back to a corpse which probably till now gets cremated.
That's just what Leon always told to himself.
The main reason for Leon to not return was because he didn't see any purpose in reliving his old life where he achieved what he wanted to achieve.
He had it all, money, fame, power, everything. Surely there were more human wishes to achieve, but Leon was uninterested in those.
