[Luke purses his lips and lowers his head to stare down at the ground, and it takes him a moment to respond as well. He doesn't want Asch to just walk away feeling this way. To think that it was all fake... He doesn't want Asch to feel like a fool. And... what if, deep down, he really...?]

Ask me later. [He shuts his eyes. It's hard to say this. It's very hard to say this, knowing what may happen later.] I told you I'd give you the name if you wanted it, and I'm not going back on that. But I want to make sure it's real. [He finally forces his eyes open to look up at him, though he has to clench his fists instead.] I don't want to give it to you because of some stupid experiment. I want to give it to you because you want it, without anything else making you want it back.
