"Given who you are and how you've lived," Leder's voice carries, "What I have to say will tear at your hearts, and there is just so much to tell. So I've decided to have the stinkbug trembling behind me memorize everything I say. Ready, Mr. Stinkbug?"

The stinkbug hops out from behind and hops twice in confirmation.

Leder clears his throat, preparing to begin. Kumatora sits down on the edge of the opening that allows Leder to stand up straight.

"I think we're ready to hear. Right, Lucas?" Duster goes.

Lucas nods, not as certain but knowing it must be important if Leder is willing to speak.
