[ The feed switches on, showing the dark sky and just enough to identify the place as the rooftop of Casualty Communal. After a long moment the cameras shifts to Leo’s face. ]
So… I got the results of my blood test. I had it made by three different doctors because I couldn’t believe the result of the first one. The outcome’s always the same.
[ He pauses. Sighs. ]
I’m clean. The Candy.. Whatever it was in it that turned my body into a ticking time-bomb for a fiery grave... It’s gone. Taken out. Washed. I’m clean.
[ He stops again, staring at the camera with a faraway glance. ] …I’m no longer dying… [He chokes, dropping the communicator, fingers fuddling for a cigarette. They are shaking. ] —shit!! Fuck! Goddamnit!! I... all of us... someday…!!
[ Chocked sobs can be heard, followed by the click of a lighter and a deep inhale. When the communicator is finally picked up, Leo has tears in his eyes, but looks otherwise fine. His voice is choked, but alarmingly calm. ]
So we don’t even get to choose how we die! Is that it? Yeah?! Fuck you!
[ He smiles in the camera, all black humor and bared teeth. ] Heh… Looks like it’s going to be a nice hot night today. Just perfect for me to go out.
[ That said, he tosses the still-recording communicator from the roof, not caring where it lands. He’s not going to need it anymore. ]
((ooc: feel free to tag but Leo won't react for obvious reasons ;; ))
