(The room is dimly lit, the scent of expensive cigars lingering in the air. Elias leans back in his chair, completely unbothered by the bloodshed outside his office.)
Leon
You’re either stupid or suicidal.
(Elias chuckles.)
Elias
Or maybe I just know you too well, little brother.
(Rin tenses slightly but keeps his gun raised. Leon tilts his head, amused.)
Leon
You knew I’d come.
Elias
Of course. You’re predictable.
Elias
And sentimental.
Rin
Enough talking.
Elias
Ah. The loyal dog.
Rin
The dog who put down all your men.
(Elias laughs.)
Elias
I like him, Leon. He’s got a bite.
Elias
Maybe you should put a leash on him before he turns on you.
(Leon steps forward and presses his gun to Elias’s forehead.)
Leon
Maybe you should shut up before I put a bullet in your skull.
(Elias doesn’t flinch. He smiles—a slow, knowing smile.)
Elias
Then do it.
(Leon clicks his tongue and pulls back slightly.)
Leon
Tch. Not yet.
Elias
Of course not. Because you need me.
Rin
Leon—
Leon
Relax, Kuroda. If I wanted him dead, he’d be dead.
Leon
You have something I want, Elias.
Elias
And what makes you think I’ll give it to you?
(Leon leans in, his voice dark.)
Leon
Because if you don’t… I’ll take everything from you.
