[It takes a long time for Luke to actually return to the house and check the journal. He didn't want to - it was too painful to look at all of the sympathy, all the people who Guy had been friends with grieving over his disappearance... Still, Luke felt like he had to.
And Asch's reply hurts the most. Luke even winces and holds his head; he could've sworn he felt a whiplash of such crushing shock and sadness, though it probably came from he himself instead of Asch. Still... It prompts Luke to turn around and head to the mountains. He might've been scared to face Asch in whatever state he was in, but right now, he was determined to find him. This was his original. This was Asch. The one he was connected to. Even if Asch might not want him there, it'd tear at Luke to abandon Asch when he might need him most.
Of course, Luke forgets about the fact that Asch can spot him and avoid him easily. But even if he remembered, he'd still try. He has to try, at least.]
