...No, we were specifically told to drop it because she'd been controlled. That we weren't going to hold it against her. It's come up a few times, at least in our dorm.
[Squinting. On the one hand. Leo is probably keeping it from him for a good reason. To protect him. On the other hand unfortunately that just makes him think of Bon doing the same and how much it infuriated him.]
For you, maybe, but not for me! You ever think that how you're feeling now is how I might have felt if they'd picked you? I want you to live because I care about you; why is that so hard to understand?
... Well I guess we're just going to have to compromise since we both don't want to be protected.
[Tentatively leaning forward to press his forehead to Leo's.] But... That doesn't... I mean it does sound nice. Just living for each other. I guess it just means we have to protect everyone else together?
but no leo allows this, with only a little sigh. ]
I don't know how good I'll be at something like that. But it sounds better than the alternative, so... [ he gives tsuyu's hand a little squeeze. ] We can give it a shot?
I'll have to figure out a way around the prophecy. I don't want Jason to die, either, so there has to be something I can do. And once I find it... I'll come and find you.
He's not going anywhere. I was just thinking.. the reason why in Amatsuki, why Toki had special powers, and was able to fix things, was because he was the unwritten page. He didn't exist in Heaven's Net, so he could disrupt it. The story hadn't planned for him.
A prophecy is like a story, isn't it? So couldn't someone else the world hadn't planned for disrupt it in the same way?

[ so. leo doesn't really think it's fair. ]

[Squeezing his hand a little.]

It was the same thing as Byleth and Otome - they had to kill someone to save others. And I guess I was the one they picked.
...I'm pretty sure it was Lux that did it, in the end.
no subject
But it was two people, right? Who was the other one?
no subject
If Lux is the one who did it, then she's the one that matters, right?
no subject
You can tell me, Leo. I can handle it.
no subject
...She was working with Manwol.
no subject
Tsuyukusa now: HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]
... Manwol?
But why would she.... why would she pick you? After what I....
no subject
They didn't tell me why they chose me, just that they had to one of three people. The other two were... probably whoever was sleeping somewhere weird.
[ and of course, he was dead, so he has no idea who they were. ]
no subject
[So obviously Manwol vetoed killing Tsuyukusa.]
no subject
Well, that's it, then. Manwol wouldn't hurt you, and there's no way Lux would let it be Yamato. So of course it was me.
[ can't say he isn't still salty about it, but. at least it makes more sense now. ]
no subject
I'm sorry. It-it should have been me. If I could have chosen-

leo squeezes his hand right back, and nudges tsuyukusa with his elbow. ]
Stop it, Tsuyukusa. Do you really think I would have wanted you to die? No! Especially not for me! So stop talking like that.

Because protecting people is supposed to be my job???

[ he presses the heel of his free hand into his eyes. ]
I just... I wanted you to live with me.

So no more dying. Here or otherwise. Right?
[That goes for both of them.]
no subject
[ he takes a deep breath. ]
I'll have to figure out a way around the prophecy. I don't want Jason to die, either, so there has to be something I can do. And once I find it... I'll come and find you.

[Leo gets a completely unmoored thought of the unwritten page from Tsuyukusa's thoughts.]
no subject
...Why? Don't you have to deal with your brother first?

A prophecy is like a story, isn't it? So couldn't someone else the world hadn't planned for disrupt it in the same way?
no subject
[ hmm. he seems unsure, but... ]
If you want to try it, I won't say no. But it will be dangerous, no matter what. As long as you're okay with that...
