But Tsukasa is. Listening. He's really trying to listen to the explanation, but there's a catch: the explanation doesn't actually exist. That sure is a rambling, bumbling response and there's actually no sort of rhyme or reason to it. It had been a nice moment, Tsukasa thinks, where he and Leo actually got to see to eye for a bit. they got along and their music and lyrics matched up and
well the problem is now that Leo apparently doesn't want to let that music be heard and also is dancing around telling Tsukasa his reasoning
which is why Tsukasa isn't really going to just accept that anymore]
If it's not the song itself... then why? You don't want to let anyone else hear it? Doesn't that go against our purpose as idols? [frustration mounting, snowballing into English:] It doesn't make sense!
Yeah! It doesn't, does it? ... Mm, wait, that is what you said, right? It doesn't make sense?
[ he just has to make sure, his english is kind of leaving him now that his brain is scrambled with thoughts of how this logic is even working. this is a tad nonsensical even by his standards. and yet where the normal response would be to reason this out with the person he's confusing, leo's response is to agree because--
--well, he can't disagree. of course it goes against their very purpose as idols! what kind of musician hides away a song? ]
It's like Beethoven hiding away his Fifth Symphony...! If Vivaldi wrote his Four Seasons, and then hid Summer! That's not Four Seasons, that's three! Even if you like Summer enough to want to hide it away, that definitely doesn't make sense...! Does that mean I reached another level? Is this a sign of genius? Madness? Maybe it's both!
[ well, there's some semblance of an explanation there that leo hasn't quite realized he's spilled in the midst of his rambling.
[There's a nod! Yes, that's what he said because it doesn't make sense.
What Leo says? ALSO DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. It manages to get Tsukasa to pause - for one because that's quite the reference to make, sometimes he forget that Leo isn't a total blithering idiot until things like this actually manage to happen - and then when he actually starts to piece together the message in it.
Uh.]
Wait, you.... like it? [WHAT A SHITTY WAY TO SHOW IT]
So you want to - keep it?
[that'S WHAT HE SAID TSUKASA but - now he's realizing that Leo didn't mean it in the "keep it away from the eyes of the world before we get embarrassed and drag down the reputation of Knights" sort of way but
[ that sure is leo straightening up a tad, almost immediately, cutting himself off—as if someone poured something cold down his shirt. and the look he's tossing tsukasa is saying that he'd absolutely not expected that to come out of his mouth.
even though
he basically just said it there, in his ramblings.
but alas, too lost in his thoughts, he hadn't even realized that what he was saying could easily be compared to their own situation. ]
How'd you guess that, huh?! Were you lying about not being able to read minds?
[WHY IS HE EVEN SURPRISED ANYMORE. Except he definitely still is - and that's why Tsukasa is bringing a hand up to his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.]
No, I can't read minds, Leader. Rather, you were the one to say it yourself? So that means... I'm correct? [RIGHT? Which is already a little surprising. He's still not sure what to do with this information.] You... like the song so much that you don't want anyone to hear it?
[ and were leo someone saner, this is where the embarrassment of having basically not registered what came out of his mouth would sink in, but instead he just nods as if tsukasa didn't just basically tell him he has no idea what he's saying. rather, what's causing him to pause now isn't his own impressive ability of completely shoving aside everything that isn't in center focus to the wayside, but rather, it's his current contradictory opinion.
he likes it so much that he doesn't want anyone to hear it... ]
That sums it up pretty well, I guess?
[ hm. except... not quite? idly, he runs a hand through his hair, tilting his head to the side, and he slouches slightly again.
it was more like... the words, wasn't it? the words were...
