For the last three billion years, he had drifted through a cosmic void so vast and dark that even his fellow supermassive black holes, the ones at the centers of bustling galactic clusters, were like distant, indifferent neighbors. They would pulse and flare, shooting out relativistic jets, feasting on wayward stars. They were the rowdy teenagers of the abyss. Leo, by contrast, was the stoic grandfather.
