[Whoa, man. Dude's actually thought about this beyond just "fuck CERES," which is the extent of what Leon's planned out himself. He's not at all equipped to come up with a game plan here, and hadn't even thought of half the things Tanaka says. In retrospect, though, some of them are obvious, especially--]

--Wait, you think the devices inside us are how they make all this stuff happen to us? Like, screwing with our bodies?

[Leon does flop his arms over the back of the couch, but he's far enough away that it's not throwing an arm around Gundam or anything. Luckily. It's a much more relaxed posture than he actually feels right now talking about this. But something has relaxed a little; now he has someone to be angry at and things to think about that aren't just freaking out over himself like he has been for like three days now.

But damn is he pissed. His voice is tight and clipped, volume rising the more he talks.]

That's--fuck, I never thought o' that! All this time I just figured it was some kinda messin' with our code thing, if we're even made of code for real, which is like, who friggin' knows? Maybe the devices mess with the code--ahhh, who knows, who cares?! The point is they can just do whatever they want to us! They could just flip a switch or whatever the hell they've got and make us all go blind!

[None of that's new information. But it's starting to really sink in for the first time, and it hurts. Leon brings a hand up to rub at the side of his face, digging his fingers up into his hair to pull on it.]

. . . I don't fuckin' know what to do. They're gonna start killin' us.
