[Luke had to be strong for everyone who knew him, even Xion, in the face of battle and in the aftermath of it. The last day was hard. It was hard for everyone... Luke had to build up whatever pathetic little walls he could make just to get through it. He would've been overwhelmed and probably wouldn't be sitting here hugging Asch otherwise.
Now he's here and he's not going back there. He doesn't have to see his friends struggling, doesn't have to see the loss of life, the light fade from the enemy's eyes. It's such a crushing relief that Luke can't let go, and he can't stop his breath from hitching and his shoulders from heaving a little, or that sting in his eyes. The real nightmare was over, for now. Now he only had to look forward to the ones in his dreams.]
