[ Journal & Synopsis - Second Entry ]
Entry No o2. Falling Islands & First Meetings.
[ written on pen & paper in Luke's personal diary ]
So many things are happening all at once... I'm still stuck on the Silvana, no thanks to my situation. How the hell did I even come onto Reial in the first place? I have no idea; all I can remember is that flash of bright light and then the next thing I knew, I woke up in the Badlands. I've tried to get back home through the Monatague but... well, look how that turned out to be. I've tried looking around in Garrettstown, but no ship's willing to take me back to Erealia, even though I promised them they'd be paid and everything. Something about 'having no official papers'... well, its not as if its my fault that I don't have them. Its not as if I was planning to come here in the first place - and best of all, I can't even get back home because of something this stupid! I swear, its as if something doesn't want me to get back home... when I get back I'm going to tell father this 'passport' thing needs to be abolished or rectified. Its driving me nuts.
Thinking about Erealia... sometime ago the network was in a whole uproar over this article about the islands around Reial breaking apart and falling into nothing without rhyme or reason. Some people were being seriously stupid about this - I think one said something about the world ending because if sins and we need love to save it or something but that woman - Rangiku, I think - mentioned that if all the islands were going to fall apart, then maybe Erealia as well...
...no. I can't let that happen. I need to get back home, the sooner the better and tell Father about this. I just hope someone else in Erealia saw the news; hopefully maybe Guy... he'd tell father for sure. Or maybe my teacher. I don't want to go back to a home that's gone for good.
Then just this afternoon, I met Asch - the guy who was part in getting the survivors (including me) out from the Montague. And here's the confusing thing - he had the exact same face as me. I couldn't believe what I saw at all. Just how - how could someone out of the blue just look like me? It was as if I was looking at myself in the mirror - only that there wasn't any. It was... unsettling. We looked exactly the same, save for some minor differences here and there; he could even use the Fang Blade technique back in the Montague - a technique my teacher said that only he knew, since he himself created it. Even if we were some long lost twins we look way too alike to be comfortable. Just who... who is this Asch anyway?!
I asked him that, asked him just what did he know about me and what relationship we had - but he just brushed me off. He never answered at all, and only piled more questions on me. It was just so stupid. Why wasn't he tell me anything at all! He clearly knew something but yet... but yet, he said 'he couldn't tell me'. Just what the hell is that all about anyway - just saying things so casually and then saying its nothing and wanting me to just forget it? That made no sense at all... nothing that Asch said made sense... just why...?
...I just can't stand this any more, so I'm bailing out of this ship. I'm going to look around and see what ship can take me to some other port in Reial. Maybe from there, I can find a ship that'd be willing to take me back home. I can't be bothered with such a moron like Asch anyway. He's not going to tell me anything? Fine. I'll find the truth by myself.
