“i wanna run away just to live my life my way.” she confesses after finishing off one of the monokuma bots in their way. she didn’t know if touko would care, but she was so tired of having to fend for her life every day. she was confident in the fact she could fight, that she had a knack for it at this point. at the same time, she was still deeply affected by her journey & imprisonment. she sighs, thinking on if the other would think she was pathetic.

“it’s just-” she pauses, “i know it’ll never happen, but it’s... okay to dream, right?” she could close her eyes, & imagine herself a million miles away from towa city, from killer kids, & monokuma bots. even if it was like that only a few years ago, & now, she had to fight for her life with touko with only increasing danger. she just wished for it all to go away.

“...sorry, i should focus on getting out of here, i know.”

@towereing said: “if you met my family, you’d understand.”

leon would like to argue that he doesn’t understand much of anything, but he gets the feeling toko knows that better than anyone. he glances at her for what must only be a second and then stares hard at the trailing laces of his shoes. ‘maybe,’ he hums, clicking the ball of his tongue piercing against his molar in thought. ‘i ain’t too good at family stuff. maybe meetin’ them’d make ‘em look at their options. they got you when they could’a been forced to deal with me instead.’ he grins, reaches out to flick her knee with his pointer finger, slow and obvious -- there’s no sneak attacks on the horizon. not from him, anyway.

'  give them the rope, and they’ll hang themselves.  ’  he pauses, surveys his company, decides to simplify -- not because he feels he needs to (he’s read her winding metaphors, her run on sentences) but because it pushes himself up and her down.  ‘  that is to say, if we give them the means, they’ll do the hard work for us. do you understand?’

she’s  right  ,  which  makes  the  arrogance  he  houses  twist  and  coil  like  something  living  ,  breathing  ,  a  creature  that’s  going  to  drain  him  dry  from  the  inside  .  a  lot  of  things  feel  like  that  ,  for  leon  --  bigger  than  him  and  heavy  ,  too  .  hard  to  handle  ,  which  is  why  he  feels  justified  in  leaving  them  untouched  .  it’s  not  my  fault  !  it’s  the  thing  i  feel  .  the  dark  thick  something  i  know  .  it’s  too  big  for  me  to  move  and  too  dangerous  for  me  to  touch  .

at  the  end  of  the  world  ,  there’s  no  room  to  lose  one’s  footing  .  leon’s  seen  the  barrel  -  bottom  of  more  ninths  than  night  skies  and  yet  extremes  still  terrify  him  .  admitting  he’s  scared  is  the  scariest  thing  of  all  and  maybe  toko  understands  that  ,  somehow  ,  but  what’s  that  got  to  do  with  him  ?  why  does  he  have  to  be  the  fucking  hero  ?  the  world  was  his  and  now  it’s  gone  .  this  is  leon’s  personal  apocalypse  ,  and  those  who  intrude  just  won’t  /  don’t  /  can’t  understand  ,  circle  as  applicable  .

‘     this  ain’t  a  book  ,     ’     he  says  ,  voice  gravelly  and  dire  with  misuse  and  danger  .     ‘     you  ain’t  got  no  fuckin’  epilogue  for  this  one  ,  dumbass  .     ’     even  so  ,  he  stands  .  even  so  ,  he  reaches  out  something  tentative  ,  something  altogether  too  soft  for  leon  k.uwata  to  hold  all  by  himself  .  he’s  sick  of  barbs  and  steel  ,  and  so  ,  in  its  place  ,  he  offers  an  olive  branch  .  a  dirt  -  stained  hatchet  .     ‘     alright  .  okay  .  fuck  .  i’m  comin’  .  will  you  --  will  you  give  me  a  sec  ?     ’     to  splash  his  face  with  water  and  courage  .  to  reapply  his  faith  in  the  future  . he’ll  bounce  back  ,  ready  and  raring  .  fine  .  slap  him  on  a  hardback  as  the  hero  .  ring  him  up  protagonist  .  but  he  won’t  do  it  on  his  own  .
