Who: Leto + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: N/A
When:

[ The video flickers on to Leto sitting on his bed, kicking his legs briefly. He grins when the video starts recording, pushing himself onto his feet. He tilts his head, that odd bird-like movement he often exhibits. ]

I have heard some interesting things of late, so I thought I'd put the question to you all. When you fall in love, can you only love one person? Can you fall in love with multiple people? Is love something you find yourself stopping after just one?

[ He hesitates. ] We were not the first pre-born attempted. There were others, though they died quickly. The other was my aunt who managed to survive.

[ On principle, the pre-born were abominations. Very few let them live past their infancy. ]

Oh. Oh. [right, okay, getting a clearer picture on this now.] That sounds terrible. Not that I'm saying you or your twin are terrible, but. That whole process.

It is not lightly done and there are rules for it for a reason. It's too dangerous to have that many lives in one person. Possession is always a possibility.

[ "Do you hear them? The voices in your head."

Yes, Leto hears them. He can reduce them to quiet murmurings, but he hears them. ]

That doesn't sound right though. If it's so dangerous, shouldn't it only be done on willing adults who know what they're getting into? Performing experiments on babies- that's not right.

She didn't have a choice. No one did, not really. My sister and I were an accident by nature.
