[ He didn't end up as one of the Eccentrics officially, but Leo was on the short list and only spared because he got a different and equally terrible role as the King of Knights. He's always been weird and he's always been smart - he just usually doesn't care to share the latter. Just because he can beat Eichi or Tsukasa in a game of chess doesn't mean Leo feels like doing it. ]
well yeah, it seemed obvious to me it wasn't something you really wanted to do. that's why i said all that! you guys are actually important to me, you know? while it's not like there's a limit on what i'm willing to do to keep you safe if i have to do something, i don't want all of us to crush one another in it.
be as selfish as you want and don't throw anything away. maybe that isn't something i should say, when i really do know perfectly well how heavy love can be.
but it's not the person i broke didn't break me in turn back then. and it's not like we didn't both decide that despite all of that, we'd stick together. it's just that this time around, i don't pretend that i'm not doing the things i'm doing.
i think doing things to protect yourself, the two of you, is fine. i know that sounds stupid when we just agreed it wouldn't work for us, but aren't i at least a little bit different to you guys than everyone else? things that would work with strangers are gonna be totally different with someone who actually cares.
not like you don't have loads of friends here, but i'm the only person who's gonna be friends with you guys when all this is over.
