It's only when he goes outside to gather the groceries that he lost on the first day this was happening, with a different set of clothes on at that, that he finds his outfit. On someone else. Someone he didn't expect it to be on.]
... Asch?
[And jogging up to now - bro what are you doing with his awesome outfit.]

Luke! There you are! I was looking for you.

Asch honestly looks more like him than ever before.]
Wh... What? For me?

[Asch shuffles a little awkwardly, reaching up to toy idly with his new hairstyle. It's not quite a duck-butt, but it works, right? Doesn't he look the part?]

Oh.
It's like a gaping hole opened up in his chest. Luke's face pales, and he feels much colder than the weather ought to make him. Asch didn't even say much, yet Luke felt as if his legs were kicked out from under him, and all he can do is stare with wide eyes and his mouth slowly opening, wanting to say something, yet not knowing what.
Is... Is this how Asch felt? All those years ago? Because this looked a lot like being... replaced. His clothes, his hair, his looks... now his name. Even his mannerisms, somewhat. It was an awful feeling, like someone dumped freezing cold ice water all over him.
And he still can't say anything. What can he say? A year ago he would've been just fine with handing his name over. But now... now...
"I'm proud to be Luke fon Fabre."]

...Right, trying a little concern then.]
Are you... okay? You don't want to give it back anymore?

He shuffles back a step, but that's all. Something hits him, then.
This feels wrong.
This shouldn't be why Asch would ask for his name back. Not because he wants to be Luke the replica... And that's what it looks like he's trying to do. To copy him. Asch should want that name back to be Luke again, not the fake Luke.
He doesn't meet his eyes.]
... Why do you want it back?
Reply
I just... don't want to be myself right now. I know I'd be better off as someone else. And being you would be easiest- I mean, we already look alike, right? So it makes sense.

Luke can understand that. But this... This is still wrong. He isn't even sure why Asch is doing this... Then again, Luceti's been really weird lately. Maybe this is part of it...
Maybe he shouldn't. But... He reaches out to grip Asch's shoulder, perhaps a bit too tightly. Forgive him, he's still pretty unsure about all of this.]
This... isn't the way you change, Asch. Do you really want to be me? Is that really how you want to change yourself? By being someone else?
Reply
...Dammit, this is hard.]
Why not? It worked before- becoming Asch saved my life. Besides, you have everything I've ever wanted. You've never been alone.
