I'm fully prepared for him to make a quick, hasty exit, so when he sighs and confirms my suspicions, my elbow slips out from under me and I almost bang my chin off the table in surprise.

What flattens me even more is when he rolls up his sleeve and shows me the scar. It's not...exactly...like the data ports for Gaia Memories, but it's close. Almost like the kids who were sharing the Bird memory.

Dammit. I'll be here for a while.

"What...what happened?" I ask quietly, trying to regain my composure. Hopefully Leo is willing to tell me more.
