[And with Dist turning his back on him, Luke allows himself to hold his head in his hands and just grip his hair, trying to come to terms with this. Luke is... ceasing to exist. And he's not even sure what exactly that means. Is he coming back in a week, like all deaths in Luceti? Or is he really... not going to come back? He's not even sure what his death will entail. He's never seen a replica die before him.
And he doesn't even know how long he had. He could go to sleep tonight and not wake up tomorrow. It's a terrifying thought, especially after all this time... What's going to happen to everyone else? He promised Asch he wouldn't leave. He made tentative plans with Xion to move in together. He...
God, it's hitting him hard. Luke grits his teeth - he doesn't want to cry. Not here, not in front of Dist, not right now. If just thinking about it can make his hands shake in his hair, make him want to cry and look to the day he disappears in terror... He doesn't want to think about it. Doesn't want to acknowledge it.
He takes in a hiss of a breath as he tries to push it back. Of course it'll always be on his mind, but... As long as no one looks at him with sadness in their eyes, knowing that Luke is going to die, maybe it'll be better. He won't be like... this. Scared and nearly crying. This isn't how he wants to spend his last days, whether he returns or not.
It's after a few minutes that Luke slowly brings his hands down to entwine in front of him, though he still keeps bent over.]
Is there anything else you need to tell me about this?
