[The message, tossed on the journal some time in the early afternoon, is short, carefully scripted, and with the camera concealed to keep it anonymous. He has no intention of dealing with the aftermath unless he absolutely has to.]
Luke fon Fabre and Xion have returned to their respective worlds.
[A short while later, another message is sent privately, though not so anonymously:]
[Private to Buffy and Jack (Horner)]
I won't be at the bar tonight. Close it if you want, work the shift yourselves, I don't care.
[After that, he's in the wind. First he goes out into the woods to where Luke was when they last spoke, to check for any signs of what might have been left, then to Luke's apartment to scour the place; he returns with a necklace, a ring, the Jewel of Lorelei, and a lot of hollow feelings.
After that, it's off to the Battle Dome, where he'll spend the next several hours destroying every simulation he can come up with, working his way through several of them one after another. He'll only stop once in a while when, in the midst of his fury and frustration, his body decides it's had enough; his heart seizes up, protesting the way it's being overworked. It's yet feeling the relief of that fact that for the first time in years, the weight of Luke's presence, their connection, no longer exists. His dissonance has been halted but he honestly wasn't prepared for how it would make him feel.
He won't be home for a long time.]

That's quite apathetic for someone who went through the trouble of informing us of this rumor. It would be more efficient to consult someone who may be able to tell more definitively that Luke is truly gone from this world - such as his brother, Asch.
[He'll leave out his trolling bait. It's his childish retaliation for facing the idea of Luke being gone so soon, to face such an uncertain fate.]
[Voice]
You know damn well I am not his brother!!
[Voice]
My apologies, Asch. The human mind can make such odd mistakes as it reaches old age.
[Voice]
[You're basically the worst person ever, Jade.]
[Voice]
You can believe what you'd like. Regardless, I suppose I now have no choice but to believe what you say.
[Luke's gone.]

[He's not sure whether he should still be pissed off or just confused at that comment.]
