Hello here's a question
Maya had been saving the last piece of birthday cake since Tuesday. Every time her younger brother Leon opened the refrigerator, she watched him from the hallway. He always looked at the cake. He never touched it.
On Friday, their mother asked Maya to set the table for dinner. When Maya opened the refrigerator, the cake was gone. A small plate with a few crumbs sat on the counter. Leon was already at the table, reading a book. He didn't look up when Maya walked in.
"Someone ate my cake," Maya said.
Leon turned a page. "That's too bad," he said. "I had an apple."
Maya looked at the crumbs. She looked at Leon. She set the table without saying anything else.
What do Leon's actions suggest about his character?
