[ this. what the hell was this? this wasn't like home. it wasn't like anything. it wasn't even like hell. hell...he'd have a lot more to deal with ]

[ Levi was quiet for the longest time as he lay in his cell, just looking up at the ceiling. all those years during his stupid youth had somehow caught up with him and now... now he was paying for it. and this wasn't even the way he thought he would be paying for it. he thought he'd have a one way ticked to the electric chair after how that trial went.

Levi remembered how he stayed completely quiet during the trial. what was there even to say? nothing, of course. he just accepted it and also accepted the fact that he was probably going to get the death penalty. but he didn't. they went soft on him. the bastards.

now, he was just staring at the ceiling. he had opened his mouth to tell the crying girl across from him to shut-up, but then closed it. once the cells were open, Levi stood at the door for the longest time. his expression was, well, the same as usual. vague and annoyed, even looking slightly bored. he walked past others, not even interested in speaking to them ]

...

[ now, he was standing at the door to go outside. snow, just like home. was he even allowed to go outside? he didn't know and he didn't want to risk it. so he continued to stand at the door, watching others as they were outside ]

[She won't come out and say he looks scary until he does something scary.]

Meeting people makes me pretty nervous. [She kind of chuckles at herself.] But doing something fun makes it easier.

[ nah, he's okay right now. there's nobody to bet up ]

That's good. At least you can get over your nervousness and it isn't something crippling.

[That's encouraging!]

It's nothing like that. I mean, I can talk to them but I just get scared sometimes, or nervous I guess, so I ramble and I can never tell when I'm doing it so I can't stop or shut up, but I think I'm doing okay right now.

...

[ Levi made a little "hmm" noise, but nothing else. he moved out of the way of the door, looking to her ]

I didn't know if we were allowed outside. But if you're going, I won't stand in your way.

We can play in the courtyard. It's more fun than just looking at it.

...I don't "play".

Don't worry! If you don't know how, I can teach you.

[ he'll humor her, walking out into the snow and standing there. he looks like he's just standing and being creepy, just he's looking at everyone ]

[...Was she really going to have to teach him?]

Do you want to make a snowman? It's not hard.

Not without the proper equipment to use or even without gloves. That would be just stupid.

Equipment to use? You don't need anything to play!

[She reaches down and begins to pull off her gloves. Any chance Levi can wear the same gloves that fit a fifteen year old girl?]

Here! You can have mine but we have to keep it a secret.

[ ...more than likely, yes. he looks at her gloves. are these clean? how much has she used them? are his hands going to smell like sweat after this?

he's quiet, probably uncomfortably quiet for her. then, he turns his head ]

No, I don't need them.

[Since they're winter gloves and dry, there's a good chance she's only put them on to come outside and hadn't even started to play yet.]

You...don't want to play?

I never said that. You're putting words in my mouth.

[Her eyes want to spin in her head, she's working so hard to figure this conversation out.]

So... I'm still totally not sure what's going on here now. You will play?

I didn't say that I wouldn't. Hurry up.

Okay, I'm trying, you're just being really scary right now and that makes it really hard to do. Uh..besides, you have to come, too.

Scary? I'm not doing anything. I'm trying to follow you outside but you're not moving.
