[Another pause, another hesitation, and- his hand rests against Luke's back. An indulgence. A small one, but... even so.
It's all he can do. Because he is leaving, because he won't be coming back. Because last week was the last time they would live under the same roof.
Because sooner or later he'll have to tell Luke where he will be living from now on, and that's going to change things even more.
Maybe it's an indulgence for himself, too. Maybe they'll be enemies again.
Maybe this'll be unforgivable.
Don't hate me for the choices I've made.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
But he's not- not completely. Because this - this pain, this loss, this suffering, the sight of his replica in such lonely agony - hurts less than the thought of sharing a home with Guy.
