[Filtered to Guy//~~Ridiculously hackable~~ Unhackable]

Hey, Guy? My hair's getting kind of long... Could you come cut it for me? I'd do it myself, but I can't really see back there...

[Filtered to Ion//~~So hackable it hurts~~ Unhackable]

Ion, can I talk to you? It's important.

[Now that those are out of the way, Luke rests his chin in his hand and stares off to the side, lost in thought. The thing he wanted to talk to Ion about... It's been weighing heavily on his mind ever since he heard it. Luke isn't sure what to think of it, or even how to feel about it. There's a sort of happiness inside him, sure, but... he can't deny the hesitation and confusion he feels. So, after a few minutes, he opens up the journal again to ask the general populace:]

What do you think it means to have a soul?

[ she's just. not. comfortable going into detail about this without a filter. so there it is. ]

... no. He never ... he never seemed to mind. [ her tone says she finds that strange. who wouldn't mind?! but Sora is Sora. ] I'm made of memories. So I don't look like the boy I was made from.... I look like his memories, of a girl he really cares about. She and I even sound the same. And I ... I did ask her, if it bothered her. ... she said no.

[....No? No? How could it not bother someone? He can't even comprehend it. Not a day went by that he didn't still feel some form of resentment for Luke, and this is a full Auldrant year after coming to Luceti - more than two here - and in all that time he's only managed to go from extreme hatred to... this. It's impossible. The only explanation he can think of is-]

Did they know? Did they lose anything?

... no. Neither of them ever knew. They only found out when they came to Luceti and ... since I looked just like her ... [ that explains itself. ]

Lose anything.... that was ... that was Roxas. My best friend. I was created to duplicate his powers. [ a pause. very somber ] My existence was slowly killing him. He didn't know. At least, not back then. ... I made him kill me first, before that could happen.

... I think Axel, too. He was our other best friend. I almost took Roxas away from him ... sometimes, I feel like he resented me for that ... just a little.

[ "What, did they forget to build you with common sense?" ]

[Sounds like she's a more complicated replica than most. That bit about Roxas, though... that's hitting far, far too close to home than he'd like to know. Disturbingly so.

And now he finds himself at a crossroad- because what do you say to that, when you don't want to contribute your own side of the story? He remains quiet, giving it some decent consideration.

So... there are others like him. Like Luke. Isofons... or those other replicas... just what does it all mean, in the end?]

[ she leaves him to his thoughts, for a moment. after all, she's thinking too.

she's ... been fortunate, hasn't she? Roxas... never hated her for doing what she did to him. He hadn't known how to feel for a while, but ... he stayed her best friend. so had Axel. Sora, Kairi... all of them accepted her, and loved her just the same.

Luke ... from the way Asch is talking, hadn't been so fortunate with his real thing.

But then, Asch... if he's this angry ... maybe he hasn't been so fortunate, either. ]

... do you remember seeing a great big monster over the village last summer? It would have had these... two giant swords.

[...Talk about your derail.]

Vaguely.

[ it would seem like that, wouldn't it? ]

... that was me. I turn into a monster when... when I've taken too much power.

[...That's familiar, too. That's what happened to Mohs, after all...

At the same time, he feels like going, "And your point is?"]

[ there is none. she's just thinking out loud... in fact: ]

... why did you want to know, anyway? I mean ... I know who you are. You're Asch. Luke's original. But why would you want to know about me?

[kjdshkfjhsdkjf]

Wh- I don't! I don't care about you at all, you're just another replica!

[AUGH WHY WOULD SHE EVEN SAY THAT COME ON.]

[ ... she ...

smiles. and even laughs a single, quiet laugh. ]

Well ... it's nice to meet you too, then.

[.....................................................what.]

[ oh god don't make her laugh she can't laugh he'd get all mad--

just smiles. ]

What?

[ she's decided she likes you, Asch... to the shock of all. have fun with that. ]

Just shut up and forget it!

[Although... as an afterthought-]

Who the hell are you, anyway?

Okay, okay! [ hehe. ]

Xion.

...Hm. I'll remember that. [For better or worse.]
