[If Luke were in the right state of mind, he'd wonder how Asch would know what dying is like, and think about the scars.
But he isn't, and Asch's confirmation that he isn't dead just makes him all the more glad to be back. It kind of hurts to hug him - there are injuries practically all over Luke's body. But all of that doesn't matter right now. Not when he's finally away from it all. Another hiccup, and his voice sounds thick - and dammit, he can't hold back the tears now.]
I'm ali... I'm alive.
[Yet he had to kill so much to be sitting here now, to say that he's alive now. What right does he have to be glad he's alive when so many others don't even have that luxury...?]
