[Leonardo makes a set of goals for himself; whenever one faces a seemingly insurmountable challenge, set a series of checkpoints to serve as goals so you can complete the task. His first goal was to make it out of the dip in the floor.
His second was to touch the metal grate with his fingers.
His third was to drag it toward himself and make it to the wall.
He got that far before his vision violently swam and he choked against the leather between his teeth, in too much pain to even cry out properly. He spat out the wristguard before he gagged on it and let himself collapse on the floor against the wall, right next to Mike's legs, and tried not to pass out. Breathed. Concentrated.
Don't black out, don't black out, do not black out.]
