No more games

[break_the_nine]

[Not too long after the discovery of the Nineball Production Facility and its Destruction... Leos was gone without a trace. Pale Rider was no longer in the hangar, his room no longer had its belongings and more shockingly enough there were a great many puddings left untouched. Continuing to search for him would lead to a piece of paper stabbed into a wall with a knife.]

I'm sorry but I don't think I can stay in the Unity Group anymore. Everything that has happened, I just need to get away. Between everything that thing said, the fact that Loni and his friends will just get out of things without being punished, that good people keep getting hurt or killed for pointless and selfish reasons. I need to get out.

You're all probably calling me a coward for running away. That I'm being childish. But that's okay. I know what I am, and that if I stayed here longer I would make things worse.

[The writing grows a little more erratic. Closer observation reveals water marks where tears have fallen, causing the ink to run a little.]

Maybe I'll come back when I've grown up and shaken off my flaws. When I can bear the weight of everything that happens better and really do my part. I'm going to do my best to help people out of the Unity Group and do what I can to make things better.

I'll never forget you guys and hope that we'll always be friends. I'll miss you all. Even you Eva. I'll write it down if you forget what I said today. I don't hate you as much as I thought I did.

Thank you for everything. Please stay safe everyone.

Leos Klein

_{P.S. Eva can have this knife. I know she already has one but she could always use a spare so she doesn't end up having to cut her fingers on people with razors if she loses it.}

(OoC: Yes this is a mingle post.)

Leos...

[Izuru reads the letter with disbelief. He didn't even stay behind to say good bye in person...]

You already made things better.

You really did.

[kill_all_vagans]

... He'll come back, right?

[herodrawing]

Of course he will. Maybe not soon, but I'm sure Leos will be back one day.

He wouldn't be Leos otherwise.

[kill_all_vagans]

... yeah.

If he wants to help people, then we're bound to cross paths. And when he sees us again he'll probably cave and try to come back then.

[herodrawing]

Good luck Leos! And no matter what happens, you have friends here. Don't forget.

[There's that sense of deja vu again. Though this time Willis wasn't the one running away.]

...so this is what it's like to be on the other end.

"Dammit..." Dio rubs her nose and sits down with a thump. "God, it's just like him, thinking being self-derogatory will make us feel better."

[a_linear_mind]

[Ahhh those words stab right into him.]

He probably didn't know what else to say. It's a lot easier to blame yourself when you're feeling this way.

[brought_it_back]

[She'll take the knife, of course.]

...

[cloningblues]

And he leaves, just like that...?

It's starting to become a pattern.
