    Summary

    "What did you do to Leo?" Donnie accused. His voice came out precise and absolutely vicious.

    Draxum flinched but held his gaze, a show of respect, scientist to scientist, that Donnie wanted to throw back in his face. "Even with a combination of mystics and science, one cannot truly program a living mind. We can shape tendencies through genetics, lean a brain toward certain temperaments and abilities, but we cannot issue commands." He paused, choosing his next words carefully. "What we can do is lay the groundwork and let the mind complete the pattern on its own."

    The connections were forming in Donnie's head before Draxum even finished. Leo's behavior over the years. Beliefs Donnie had never been able to parse. A pattern he hadn't let himself look at directly until now.

    Oh god. Please don't let him mean—

    Draxum's voice dropped to something just above a whisper. "I needed to ensure the sacrifice would be made. So I introduced what I might call passive suicidality. In retrospect, it was disturbingly simple. Program the baseline knowledge that he was meant to die. Pair it with an instinct toward loyalty, and a drive to win above all else." He paused. "The mind does the rest."

    Summary

    Leo stares into the bathroom mirror, trying to figure out what was weird. He tugs his mask tails with a solid yank, making sure the knot is secure. He ends up tugging a little too hard and his face ends up level with the new crack in the corner of the mirror (courtesy of Mondo and Mikey trying to share the sink a few weeks ago).
    His face looks… weird. The fragmented view of eye and eye and mouth and mouth layering and stacking and-
    Something.

    Summary

    “You're twenty-five, and you haven't done a thing."

    A part of Leo bristles, the part that used to take everything as a personal attack.

    He clenches his jaw, letting himself take a breath as Draxum knocks down his rook.

    “I've done plenty,” he says, simply. “Like save the entire world. And many people.” He raises his head again to look Draxum in the eye. “Including from you, by the way.”

    Draxum doesn't seem phased, which makes Leo think he might've practiced this whole conversation before.

    “You haven't done anything that made you happy.”

    ---
    or: After twenty-five years, Leo finally starts to live.

    Summary

    "Leo can't tell anyone. He knows that. He knows.

    But god does he want to. The knowledge gnaws at him, scratching and clawing at his chest.

    He wants someone to know. He wants someone to hold him and promise that they would never do that.

    There's a little voice in his head, louder than his own shame, that urges him to tell someone. Anyone.

    He attempts to shove it down like everything else, this neediness. This wanting. But the box is simply too full. There's no where else for it to go but out."

    Or,

    Leo's repressed childhood trauma comes back to remind him that some memories don't stay buried forever.
