[Leo listens, eyes on his lap. Huvrye says he's had nightmares like this too, so he must get it - why Leo doesn't want to sleep, at least not sleep so deeply that he dreams, because whenever he dreams it always ends the same.

Part of him wants to give in to that, to tell someone and maybe actually have one good night of sleep. Another part thinks that this is his punishment for being such a colossal screwup that he very nearly ended the world.

Part of him doesn't want Huvrye to know he's that much of a screwup.

But he thinks he also isn't being given a whole lot of choice here.]

...Well... I mean, if you want to know my tragic backstory so badly I guess I can tell you.

[He says it with overdramatic flair. Like this is just a joke. Like it's not that serious. Maybe that's how he can play this: get it off his chest, while making it sound like it's nothing really to worry about. Yeah, that'll work.

(He knows it won't work.)]

It's... a lot to explain, though... I'm not sure where to start.
