[1]
[One would expect Leos to be absolutely devastated when you find him after the mission. With who died... who went missing and how badly he fared. The screaming and crying all the way through... that he would be an inconsolable mess. Yet instead when you find him, he's humming cheerfully as her walked through the base with several packs of pudding. A little too cheerfully. Something was worrying about this.]
Oh... hey! One minute...
[He snaps off a pack and places it in your hand, giving you an almost heartrendingly sunny smile.]
Friendship pudding now. Just so I don't forget like I did a lot of times before.
I've got a meeting with Progtech that Lana's taking me to so I won't be back until waaaay later.
[2] [Later that day...]
[It was closing onto midnight and still no Leos. One would almost be worried as to what was happening to him... but he's a grown dude. He can take care of himself right?]
H... elp....h...help...m..me...
[Except that belief would be refuted. Utterly. Walking down an intersecting corridor was a horrifically bloodied Leos with a frighteningly vacant look in his eyes from the absolutely gigantic amount of pain he was feeling before he just collapsed into the ground and bled there.]
[3]
[The good news first: Leos isn't in any danger of dying. The bad news: All those wounds and injuries? They weren't random. They were surgical scars. It was less about what could have been removed... but more about what was put in. Specifically it seems that Leos was now the proud owner of a large amount of cybernetics. Ones that in theory could allow him to literally interface with machinery and link his mind to it.]
...
[The surgery itself was horrifically invasive and traumatic as Leos can attest to. Diagnosis revealed that a minimal amount of anesthetic was used in order to ensure that the cybernetics were properly linked to his body. As he recovers in the infirmary you can see Lana sparing the Raven a glance before walking away.]
[Could she... and by extension PROGTECH be responsible for this...?]
[As Leos is still in no state to be visited... Discuss this matter with others/Confront Lana?]

If there's any place that's bleeding seriously, just keep pressure on it. And don't move him a lot unless we have to...
The medics will get here soon enough so just...
Leos hold on please!
[In spite of what she just said to Dido she's going to get down on her knees to try to hold him close and support him. And God why does he feel heavier than he should?]

Ngh...hghnn..
[He was barely able to grab onto one of Mizuki's hands with his own... his grip was tight to say the least, almost painful in fact.]

[She appreciates the help in binding up Leos's arm though. With so much blood Mizuki wasn't sure where she could put her hands without putting Leos in severe pain... but she settled for just letting him cling to her and keep on e hand on his back... the other holding onto his hand too.]
Dammit what's taking the medics so long to get here?

(Timeskip)
..Uhnnghnn...
[When the world slowly came back into focus he had absolutely no idea how long it was... just that everything still ached.]
Wh... wha?

Re: (Timeskip)
She glances to the left to where the Abyss Empress is standing. "Your name's Leos, right? Mizuki told me a lot about you..."

Y...yeah.. thas' me...
[He tries to wet his lips - shivering as they felt bone dry on his tongue. He could still taste-]
C'ld I have some water?
From:
no subject
[Leos being awake is a relief, and Mizuki heads outside to get that water for him before coming back.]
Here.
And if you're willing to talk... what happened? Who... did this to you?
From:
no subject
Don't wanna talk about it...
[Leos would have tried to curl in on himself if the sharp pains didn't tell him not to on his attempt.]
Really don't Mizuki... I just...
[His hands shake badly and he's quickly putting the water to the side, nearly having it topple over.]
Please don't ask...

"I'm not sure Mizuki can promise that, kid." She says softly. "We need to know what happened if we're going to help you..."
She glances nervously at Mizuki to see if she'll back her up on that.

If you need to keep it from us right now, that's fine. You can tell us if and when you're comfortable with it. We'll still be here for you in the meantimme.
Just...
... If it comes to it, if it could help medics with treating you or taking the edge off everything... at least tell the doctors. Any secrets will be safe with them.

[Leos lies back, taking a deep breath. He wasn't sure what he should say... should he apologize for scaring them? Just what?]
...When I get better... can we go look for Sara?
