[Canon update: Week 34, day 2] Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
SPOILER WARNING for the PH manga from chapter 52 to 59, and a bit from 61. Also there is death and decapitation in this, but not really written all that detailed, I don't think?
( Humpty Dumpty had a great fall )
( Humpty Dumpty had a great fall )
Leo places a hand on Vincent's shoulder and grips it firmly. He needs this.]
Please save him... I don't care what he says... please...
[He doesn't think he has the right to ask something so great of Vincent, but he knows that they share at least one feeling... and that is the desire for Elliot's well being.]
Let him help you Elliot. I don't care what you think is the noble or right thing to do... I don't know anything about that. But it doesn't have to end like this!! So... please...
[And he moves to hold Elliot down. Because he doesn't expect Elliot to take this gracefully. In fact, he's not even sure that whatever Vincent needs to do won't hurt. So he'll hold him down or comfort him... whatever he has to do. Obviously he isn't as ready to let Elliot go as he said a moment ago.]

Indeed, Elliot isn't about to just sit back and let Vincent do it. Sure, Vincent did say that if he rejects the Chain he'll die, so it doesn't matter if the wound is actually there or not. Maybe it could even be nice to be rid of it, if it wasn't for the fact that he knows Vincent didn't use to have it and he doesn't know how it works or how he got it or what the requirements are or... or anything.
So he doesn't trust it, so he does try to push Vincent away, as he grits his teeth and hisses and protests:]
No, don't, you--!
[And then Leo is holding him down and he swears between his gasps for breath. Damn it, this is tiring! Mmnmjghf why can't they just--]
It's going to end some day, somehow, and I'd rather choose! You're just wasting your effort, let me go!
["I would have supported you."
The warmth of Vincent's embrace... Honestly, he would rather have something like that now, if anything, not attempts to try to save him when... when it's not saving, it's not. Only postponing for an inevitable end.
Even if at the same time he would like to go away and be alone, or at least further away from people, it's nice to not be alone. So a hug would be pretty nice right about now, he grudgingly admits to himself.]
I... I can't... That thing is a part of me and I'll do what I want with it..!

[He holds Elliot tighter, a frown deeply embedded on his face. It's really guilt. So much guilt.]
It's my fault. I won't let you give up so easily!
[That would only make it hurt more.]
