IsaLeslie

"I loved. I love my home. I loved Leslie... I could stay strong, because I had that tune with me... I must live for myself, to give purpose to Leslie´s life... I was unbelievably frustrated to find out he had been killed..."

- Isabella's thoughts (shown only in manga)

IsaLeslie is the het ship between Isabella and Leslie from The Promised Neverland fandom.

Anime
When Isabella was a child, she often went to the same tree, were Leslie sat and played a song in his guitar. Once, he played her a melody he liked a lot, and Isabella sat nearby and heard him playing it.

Months later, Leslie was "adopted", and it was his time to leave. Isabella was pretty sad the day he was leaving.

When it was Isabella's time to go, instead she was chosen to be a mother, so she went through training. Years passed by, she got pregnant and give birth to Ray.

One time she was walking near the wall, she heard a little kid humming the melody Leslie played her years ago, and she went shocked when she realized Ray was his son.

Manga
There is actually no big difference between these two. It's only when Emma, Ray and the others are escaping, she said to herself these words:

"I loved. I love my home. I loved Leslie. I love... I could stay strong, because I had that tune with me. I have no regrets. After all, this was the path I chose for myself. I can't change the world. What would my death do? If anything, I need to make the best of what I do have. I must provide all the love inside of me. I must let them live as long as possible.

''This children know nothing. He's no longer around. I must live for myself, to give purpose to Leslie's life. I wanted to live longer than anybody else. I was unbelievably frustrated to find out he had been killed. I can't do or change a single thing. And that's exactly why...''

''I wanted to do the least I could do... to live, as a human they couldn't eat! I suppose it doesn't matter anymore. This is my defeat. Those children have escaped. I am now an useless keeper who couldn't protect her own goods. Just now, all of my efforts to reach the top have been utterly destroyed. No matter how hard I try to capture those children again, I...''

''Perhaps if I had kept Krone around... If I hadn't let Norman see the other side of the wall that day... The result may have been different.''

''No. it's useless to think of 'what if'. In any case it still remains true that I wasn't able to see through the growth of those children. This is my defeat.''

''They were so small... all of the used to be... so small... I wish I could have just loved them normally.''

Farewell, stay safe.

If the world will permit it, I sincerely hope you all find a light at the end of the tunnel.
