[ izumi startles at cole's words just now, face flushing. not because the phrasing is embarrassing, but because he'd heard those words before. he was there, after all. ]
H-How did you know that?! Did you get that memory from him?
[ because how else did it happen? luckily leo picks up the slack as izumi pulls away to collect his thoughts. something something about canaries singing, in a certain hall...
but they're no longer in that hall anymore. this is a special hellscape carved just for them, so of course all of this has to be real. they both deserve to be here, to be overwhelmed by their former comrades - because it's all izumi's fault.
before he can let his burden weigh down on him again, he spots a couple of shadows coming up to attack leo from behind, and he promptly hacks them down. right, it's his turn to pave a path for leo now. they absolutely can't go back to the past - but why is this place insistent on making them relive it over and over again? ]
