Huh? --Oh! Ha ha, yeah! I kneeeew it!

[(No he hadn't.)

He'd also been absorbed enough in the conversation to not notice, too; it's a lucky thing he hadn't tripped right over the bottom one and fallen on his ass! Fuck yeah! He's so relieved that he pumps a fist in the air--and then turns on his heel to flip off his shitty doppelganger back there for good measure. It's so easy to be brave when you're two steps away from running up the stairs to safety.]

Screw you, CERES! You can force us in here, but you ain't gonna keep us down forever!

[Kuzuryuu is polite enough not to call Leon out on the fact that he obviously had no idea that this is the right way. However, he is not so polite that he doesn't roll his eye once the other boy has turned his back.]

[He doesn't offer so much as a glance at his tiny, still near-tears doppleganger as he trudges up the stairs after Leon. But there's still one last tiny and feeble "You murdered them," all the same. But that's the last one it manages to get in, of course. Because he can't follow them up the stairs and back into the hospital.]

[It's only when they're both safely upstairs that Kuzuryuu finally looks back. Just at the doorway leading to the stairs to make sure there's nothing there.]

Finally. Fucking glad that's over with and we can get on with our lives. Watch your step from now on so you don't get stuck down there again. I dunno if it was the same for you but I fell through a trap door...

What the hell, there's trap doors?

[Maybe he should have lied and pretended that happened to him too. Too late now. But "let's get on with our lives" sounds fucking awesome. Yes good plan! Leon takes a few overly-long steps away from the doorway, as if making a point of putting it behind him; even though he'd been managing to tune all that crap out near the end there, there's still a palpable sense of relief when the doppelgangers are gone for good, strong enough that it surprises him a little.

He looks back at Kuzuryuu, not the door, mildly embarrassed.]

I went in 'cuz I was getting chased around by those freaky nurses with the needles . . . they got me once, I wasn't goin' through that again! I've seen the weird stuff they can do to people with those! So I got in there, figurin' I'd go upstairs, but then it led downstairs instead, and I just went with it.
