Yeah, just don't tell him that. [He just knows that Asch would come up with some excuse, and that Luke would believe it, and the thought of Asch protecting him would be whisked away in favor of some stupid little reason.

Now that they're on this topic, Luke starts to think about it some more. He kind of misses Asch and all, now that he's away from him after being with him 24/7.]

We... protected each other, sort of. I could tell when all those... things weren't real. I couldn't see a lot of it. My body came back when it was over, and he still kept me with him until I was healed.

[Pause, then he gives a forced little smile as he rubs one of his ears.] Well, mostly.
