[There's a fair amount of injuries once he gets past the blood that is both his own and some of other enemies and friends, and mud and rain. A large, dark bruise travels from his left cheek to the base of his neck, a small cut is on his other cheek, and gashes and bruises cover his arms. There are two cuts on his mid section, too, and that's all that can be visible. The rest are under his clothes. He had to sacrifice his vest, thankfully not his prized one with the demon face, when it got torn to even be salvageable. Luke didn't even think to get healed - he just wanted to get home.
Asch's words make Luke silent for a moment, though the guilt remains. Luke's had shame in his will to live for months now, and a few words aren't going to change that. But it does, at least, remind him of what he's fighting for. For will. The will to live, free will from the Score...]
I keep... t-taking that away. [He takes in a quiet, though still audible hiccup.] To try and... give it back to more people. [If that makes sense. Luke doesn't bother explaining himself, though. Next, his voice turns quiet and even shakier.]

I want to stop... but I can't.
