[It's been almost a week since 'Luke' returned from his kidnapping, and over the past few days he's been trying to get used to his new... living arrangements. His mind is still something of a jumble, but despite that he's out and about, really exploring the village instead of wandering aimlessly from the mountains. More than likely, he'll be lurking close to the houses of people he knew, as either Luke or Asch, though he's too antsy to knock or say hello. He's also carting around the Key of Lorelei, the sword Asch had before.

As he walks, he'll be randomly jotting down a seemingly randomized set of numbers. Though some might find it familiar:]

3.14159265358979322946...

[...Yeah, he's definitely still a bit scatterbrained. Bother hiiiiim.]

I've known you long enough to know when you're lying.

[dissonates]

You don't know me at all.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

... If I don't, then that's your fault, not mine.

[dissonates]

[....Sigh.]

Hold on. I'm- ... I'm not Luke. Not the one that you know.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

What? Then.. who...?

[dissonates]

You know about Luke and Asch, don't you?

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Perfect isofons - replica and their original - are drawn together over time; it's known as the big bang. Once it reaches a certain point, the two are joined into one - a single person carrying all of their memories.

[He leaves it at that, since... it paints a pretty clear picture of what's happened.]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

So... this is what you were afraid of...?

[dissonates]

[He pauses, then nods.] It was their fate.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Damn it... [ And this is sad!seo... he knows there's still Luke in there, but he still feels like he lost his best friend. He doesn't know how to take this. ]

[dissonates]

[And Lusch feels bad, because he remembers being friends with Haseo.] ...I'm... I'm sorry. If I could change this, I could.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

How many times do I have to tell you people to stop apologizing for things you didn't do?

[dissonates]

...One more time, at least. [This is slightly more familiar ground, at least.]

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

[ He smiles sadly. ] None of you ever learn. You should listen to me more often.

[dissonates]

Maybe someday I'll figure that out.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Better sooner than later.

[dissonates]

If it helps any, I don't plan on apologizing again. What's done is done, anyway.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Good. You can't help it... you are who you are now, and either way, you're still my friend, alright?

[dissonates]

...I'd like to be, if you'll have me.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Of course. I wouldn't lie about this kind of thing.

[dissonates]

...Thanks, Haseo. That means a lot to me.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

It's no problem. Do you still remember everything you need to from here?

[dissonates]

I know everything they knew.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

That's a relief.
