[ Angelo looks between Elias and the cigarette for a moment. There is a palpable tension in the air, a war in Angelo's own head. He is exhausted. He is angry, too, at Elias for exposing his weaknesses in the trial just to make himself seem the saint... He wants to engage in vices his Captain has broken him free on, but he does not want his lips to touch something tainted by someone else.
At the same time, Elias is about to die and Angelo can see this for the offer of camaraderie that it is. It feels almost sincere, from a man who surely is anything but, as camouflaging as the animal sprung from his soul.
After a complicated two seconds, he just gets mad at himself, his indecision, the amount of stock he's putting into this one way or another. So with a quick and agitated movement he grabs the cigarette from Elias and takes a deep drag. He's clearly practiced at it.
... it feels nostalgic. It feels good. He hates that it does. ]
I'm not letting Ish's magic touch the Captain.
[ Angelo himself is becoming re-tainted all over in his absence. Filthy by association with his past, poisoned by nicotine, dirtied over and over. A corrupted existence robbed of its only salvation.
Full Frontal isn't like this. Full Frontal has to remain pure, even in death. ]
