[During that long pause, Luke kept moving, even though it felt like moving through a haze. Occasionally, he had to stop and just get his bearings and make sure he wouldn't stumble to his knees, but even after that, he'd keep walking. It was hard to move like this, but... Asch was there - it was worth trying to get past it all.
He's much closer by the time Asch's voice reaches him again. He had promised, hadn't he... And promises were important to him. He'd followed this one for so long, and now he was breaking it. But... Luke didn't feel all that guilty about it. His voice, however, sounds a little more strained; it was hard trying to get it out there when he was more focused on walking in a straight line.]
I didn't... say I'd abandon you. Be-Besides, if I don't chase you... You might disappear. You said you wouldn't...
[... It's very close now. So close that Luke finds the nearest tree and leans heavily against it while he speaks out loud.]
I... finally found you. [He doesn't even have to look up to realize that he did.]
