It wasn't just Michael, now Leo was starting to panic too. If Raphael lost it and just offed himself, that'd be fine. But if he went crazy and killed both him and Michael, he'd die a pretty pathetic death.
"Hey, snap out of it. Don't go looking for a way to die."
Leo followed Michael, quickly trying to talk his father down. Calm down, man. Best case, don't die, or at least don't go nuts and kill him.
Watching the two kids frantically trying to reason with him made Raphael's face, which had just started to brighten a bit, suddenly darken.
These two kids' thinking really wasn't like normal children. If they were regular kids, they should be crying, not spouting logic like this.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Elio really just died."
Hearing Raphael's confirmation again, the two of them shifted from doubt to half-belief. After all, looking at Raphael now, he didn't seem like he'd been tortured so long he went crazy and started babbling.
