like, that wasn't a simple slash from a sword anymore. they've both gone beyond that. leo's words just now resonated like bullets to the heart, and all of a sudden izumi couldn't breathe. no, he feels disgusted and hollow and for the first time in his life, he couldn't bear breathing the same air as his old friend.
the hand that was holding leo's until now grasp at his own chest, his face stricken with so much hurt and betrayal. this is just like that one time at the corridor, isn't it? only worse, because yumenosaki may be a rotting hell of an instition back then, at the very least they only had to deal with some powerhungry student council president. now, they've got no one else to blame for their shortcomings but themselves.
izumi's mind starts to shut down, as it does when he faces a lot of pressure, but the first thing he's got to do first is to get out of here, now, and he takes a step back while shaking his head. ]

it's as if everything's happening too fast and too slow at the same time (which can be blamed on the lack of sense of time in this world, really), with izumi letting out a gasp as he extends a hand for leo to take once more out of sheer instinct than anything else -- ]
Leo-ku--
[ but it was too late. the tightrope they call their tumultuous relationship has finally snapped, and there's no other way to go from here but down. izumi doesn't even scream when he falls into the chasm, too shocked and hurt to even do that, but it's only for the best; leo wouldn't be able to handle it if he does stop yelling when he reaches the bottom. if there even is one.
