[Oh Donnie knows about how coming back from death sucks, he's done it three times already.

As to the message from Leo though? He just stares at it for a long time, because he had honestly thought Leo was gone for good... So he just, doesn't know how to reply so he doesn't for at least an hour.]

Really?!

[The lack of reply just makes Leo feel sick to his stomach. He tears up as he keeps opening and closing the chat on what feels like a loop with a shaky hand.

Is his brother gone? Is he alone? Is everyone gone? Is he stuck with Elias in this arcade room forever?

An actual reply is a relief, enough of one Leo chokes a little on his tears.]

Too soon?

["Too soon" "Too soon"?! It takes everything Donnie has to not just throw his laptop at the wall at seeing those words, and instead his reply takes another moment too long to come.]

Not soon enough, actually.

[If words could convey how angry Donnie was, these words would be very loaded with that emotion right now.]

[He can feel the anger in those words. He isn't sure what to say, what to do.]

Sorry.

[He wants to be mad, it's so much better than what he's been feeling since he came back from the sacrifice thing and couldn't find Leo, but Leo just sends that one word and just.

UGH.]

Do you know how worried you made everyone?

I didn't plan on being gone you know. I didn't think this would happen.

... this happening is why I didn't want you to do it.

[Well, not really. But now he has more of an excuse for not wanting Leo doing the sacrifice thing!]

You died too, Donnie.

Was I supposed to sit on my hands and be okay with you dying while I was alive and waiting?

None of this is even okay.

So? I've died twice before, one more time isn't going to do anything to me.

[Unaware of what memories he's lost.]

You shouldn't have been there at all, Leo.

... At least it turned out how it was supposed to.

Donnie, when you die, you lose memories! It's why people join with Elias, he's supposed to protect your memories, or at least try to!

You are being such a hypocrite. It's fine if you're there??

Well, I haven't lost any.

And yes, yes it is.

How do you even know, Donnie? Unless you gauge your memories and go 'huh something seems weird' you won't notice.

This argument gets stupider the second time we have it.

Well, it must not be that important if I haven't noticed it.

And yes it is, so why are we having it?

That's not how losing memories work!! omg

Cause you won't admit you're a hypocrite! The situation sucked, and we both died! I like double died or something because I was gone so long!

And you know how they do work? You're now Mister Expert here?

[And just not, going to acknowledge the second part.]

I'm more of an expert than you are, dumdum!!!!!!

You're a stinky hypocrite and I love you, stupid. I don't want you to forget anyone or anything!

Whatever!

I'll see you when you finally come home.
