"Well, as long as it was useful." Levi said.

"And now we know why Izea has been getting hurt." he went on.

"..." he was then silent, and looked VERY sad suddenly.

"....I was the cause of her falling down the steps and breaking her shoulder..." he mumbled.

"My stepping into the stairwell did that..."

Levi raised an eyebrow.

"Uh-huh..." he said.

"Well... I admit, that DOES make me feel better." he told her.

He then sighed quietly, as Nate approached them.

"She'll be fine, of course." he told them.

"Cool." Levi said.

"I should.. probably go now." he muttered, shaking his head head again.

Levi was silent for a moment, before sighing quietly.

"Not really." he replied, his voice a little more lively than when last they spoke.

"I mean, I'm working on spinning a press release for the Unit, but that's not due for another couple of days, and I'm just about done the first draft for review." he told her.

"Why?" he asked.

"Need me to come down there?" he asked her.

"...and is this about Izea?"

He let out a heavy drawn-out sigh.

"I see." he said.

"I'll be right down." he told her.

"And yes." he then said. "They ARE shutting up." he confirmed.

"And I also have a decent ring of spirits." he continued.

"So I'll be right down." he finished.

With that, the call was ended, his paragraph was finished, and he made his way down to the medical wing, looking around until Angela approached him.

"Welp. Here I am." he said.

Levi looked to the door and sighed.

"Okay." he said.

"Might as well... get this over with." he muttered.

He then made his way over, grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door, stepping inside... to find Izea sitting in one of the chairs, drinking something out of a glass. When she turned and looked at him, he waved slightly.

"...hey." he greeted her.

Levi was silent, and hung his head a little.

"Well, it seems like the wheel of fate has decided that it's safe for you to be around me." he told her. "For now." he added. "...and however long THAT lasts..." he then mumbled.

"And am I okay?" he asked.

"Eh." he shrugged.

"The more important one here is YOU." he said.

"After all, it seems I have inadvertently caused you a lot of pain." he commented.

Levi was silent for a moment.

"...take off?" he asked.

"Wait, what do you mean?" he asked her.

"If anything, -I- should be the one to take off." he said.

"I'M the one causing you problems." he reasoned. "Okay, NOT me directly, but it's... whatever, you get my meaning." he muttered.

"But why should YOU have to scram?" he asked.

"That's not fair to you. And this is a big building. I'll just need to keep a very strict watch, and try and have a very specific path to places when they decide to yell at me." he reasoned.

At that point, Levi slammed his fist into the closest wall.

He wasn't very strong, so it didn't make a massive noise... and the wall was not hurt in the slightest... and his hand wasn't bleeding. Odds are it would definitely be bruised, though.

His was looking at the floor now, his head hung so that his hair ended up shadowing his eyes, and he was shaking slightly.

"No." he said.

"Fuck that." he said further.

"It's not fair to you to have to leave the ONE good thing you've found in your life, because fate decided that I should be tormented by some stupid cosmic slugs!" he exclaimed.

"It's... it's not fair..." he stammered, as little droplets started to fall to his feet.

"I'M a freak of nature, too." Levi replied.

"I shouldn't even be alive right now with what I am!" he then exclaimed.

"...okay, by that, I mean those like me generally have a 5% chance to survive as long as I have, so we're not exactly alike, but... but you get what I mean." he continued, trying his best to keep himself composed.

"There has to be SOME way you can just... avoid me, while staying here." he went on.

"...avoid them." he then clarified.

"Um... excuse me?" Nate interjected, having come to see what the noise was about.

"I... might have a suggestion for that." he commented.

"Well... Levi, you get a very early warning when it's going to be a bad day, right?" Nate asked Levi.

"...yes." Levi responded.

"And you both have cell phones, right?" Nate asked.

"I do." Levi replied.

"Not me." Izea said. "Got a phone in my dorm, but it ain't mobile." she said further.

"Oh." Nate mumbled.

"Well, if we talk to Sharp, I'm sure he'll give you one." he then told her. "Especially if we say it's so that Levi here can give you early warnings on when they're particularly bad, and give updates on serious movement and such." he continued. "I mean, you can hear the screams a decent bit in advance, so you can also send HIM a message in case you start to hear them get closer." he went on.

"..." Levi was silent for a moment, and his shaking stopped.

"Huh." he said.

"That's... not too bad of an idea." he admitted, lifting his head, his tear-stained cheeks and red eyes revealed now. Though his voice DID sound less shaken and broken now.

"I'm sure Agent Sharp will pay for it, considering it's for Izea's well-being." Nate reasoned.
