"You told me not to do things on my own and you run off and do the same!"

"This was different, Leo!"

"HOW?! HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT?!"

"Because this was a promise I made! This is something I know I have to do - and unlike you, I didn't make this decision because I thought I knew everything! I didn't do this out of pure emotion!"

"So you're just going to continue running around with Karai and her friend? You're just going to keep playing vigilante!?"

"It's what you did before, didn't you!?"

. . .

. . .

"Fine. Fine, I see how it is."

"Leo - Leo, I - I..."

"No, you know what, if you want to be a hypocrite about this, fine. But you were the one who told me that I didn't have to do everything alone. You were the one who told me not to handle everything by myself, and if you're too prideful to admit that you need help with this too, then I'll have to make stupid decisions to help you too."

"No, Leo this is my fight! I won't let you get dragged into this-"

"Oh and you think you're strong enough to fight them? You think you're as strong as Karai or Shinigami? Or me?"

. . .

"... Stop crying - I... I'm serious, (Y/N). Don't... Don't do this without me. Let me help you..."

"Sniff. Sniff."

. . .

"I'm sorry, Leo. I can't put you at risk because of my stupid decisions... I can't be like Karai in that way."

"But you don't have to do everything alone either-"

"YES I DO. I can't keep acting like a kid - I can't follow Professor Honeycutt's advice because he's DEAD, Leo! If I don't keep it together now, then how will I ever be able to leave you guys behind later!?"

. . .

. . .

"Leave... us behind?"

. . .

"What do you mean, leave us behind?"
