AMALTHEA

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in Cathay, on the fifteenth anniversary of the day the company Lupus' Secret Stash led a coup and established their own government.

And. kinda just flops over.

Fuck everything]

[. . . once he manages to rip the sleeve from his shirt, he uses it to tie a makeshift eye patch around Leo's injury. It. It isn't much, but. . .]

Sorry. I ain't no doctor. Wish I could do more than this to help.

[He's just. Wincing and groaning. He does manage to talk though.]

I'm not sure you could do anything..can't see out of it anymore anyway.

Need to clean it, to keep it from bein' infected. Get you a working eyepatch so nothing gets in there.

[places a hand on his head]

. . . I don't think we need to do anymore tasks like that, yeah?
