[Well. That didn't tell Guy anything that he didn't already know. Just the memory of Asch's face after the blade had hit was enough to tell him that dying hadn't exactly been Asch's plan.]

Why do that, though? You said yourself that death is just temporary. You could have just left him alone to learn a lesson the hard way. Maybe even teach him to have better choices in friends.

[Keep the replica at arm's length, then his annoyances won't be a bother. Guy didn't want to think what that death would have done to Luke... but he knows the boy well enough to say he would have come back with far less to say to his former guardian. Asch had already seemed upset enough when he'd moved out of the apartment - why not just let things happen out of spite?]
