[Both Dymlos and Stahn seem to be laid a little low by the situation; it's not like Leon's surprised or can blame them, but his reaction is different. For them, they're horrified by the thought of losing their friends and their world, and this entire situation is confusing and distressing.

But Leon... Leon's just angry about it. He's angry that he's here right now, forced to watch Stahn cry, because it makes him uncomfortable in ways that nothing else ever has. He's angry that he's for some reason alive, when so many other people are more deserving of that, and when he'd had an escape of sorts through dying.

And even more than that, he's angry at the utter nonsensical nature of the entire thing. His world, destroyed? The world that Stahn and the others were fighting so hard to protect? Rutee, dead, after everything? Don't make him laugh. That's nonsense, and he won't accept it, and he'll fight to his last breath to see it proven wrong, because everything about this situation is twisted and wrong.

So when he meets Stahn's eyes, it's with total confidence, maybe a shred of arrogance, back to the Leon that had always been so cocky and confident in his own self and knowledge. It's just that this time, he's confident instead in--]


Yes, that's it. Even someone as air-headed as you wouldn't be able to allow the world to be destroyed without even being aware of it. I had had suspicions before, but now I am certain of it.

[A world that Stahn would allow to be destroyed? Utterly ridiculous.]

The others would not die so easily either. I didn't leave the situation to you because I thought that you would be so easily beaten, so don't even imply that such a thing could happen.

[He left it to Stahn because he knew Stahn could do it. He could save their world. And Leon isn't even willing to contemplate anything else.]
