Leaf follows me around like he's a ghost. He tries to persuade me that when a person dies he doesn't take on the appearance at his exact moment of death. For example, he says, "Like if you get a chainsaw to the face... Not even." It's when you are your truest self right before you pass.

I ask him why he's still chillen around here. He shrugs, "I was too cool", but then admits, "I hadn't grown up yet. My truest self wasn't truly me yet". He's been given some more time to do so. But not too much. He compares himself to a rookie 1st round quarterback, "There's a game plan. I'm startin to understand my role. I'm almost there."
