The thoughts and emotions go through before he can stop himself, and he only manages to stop when he clenches his jaw and tightens his grip on Asch's hand. He hates... He hates that Asch is thinking that way. That he actually thinks it's okay he died. It's never okay. It isn't okay when Luke knows that, out of the two of them, he himself deserves it the most. He isn't supposed to be living anyway. He's already dying. It would've been better if it was him.
