[The journal clicks on just in time to record Luke knocking on a door.]

Tear? Are you in there?

[He waits a minute, but doesn't get an answer. Reaching down, he tries the handle, making the door swing open.] Not locked...

Tear, I'm coming in. I made dinner-

[Luke steps inside and his journal flops to the ground only a moment later. Everything

Comments

[That good ol' link again]

[mirrorbirth]

...Don't run.

[He can feel a myriad of negative emotions and a few mixed up mental images, but little else. Replica, your head is a mess. :/]

[Permalink!]

[wingedreplica]

[It's gonna be that way fir a while.]

Go away.

[Permalink!] good word for it at this point.

[mirrorbirth]

[Asch can deal.]

No. I know what you're doing, and you're just going to get yourself killed.

[Permalink!] ^^b

[wingedreplica]

I'm not going to do anything.

[divinepooch]

[Huh, where you goin'? Ammy watches him run for a second, then she starts to run quietly after him. She's following her gut instinct, that's all, and he looks pretty distressed.]

[wingedreplica]

[Ffff, hi you. Luke doesn't even seem to notice something is following him. He just keeps going, heading into the forest.]

[divinepooch]

[Thankfully, Ammy's got a good nose and good ears, and so even if he's out of sight, she can still follow. But at this point, it's not too hard. She sticks to the side, hopefully blending in well enough with the snow so that he won't see her if he whirls around to look.]

[wingedreplica]

[Luke can't run forever, and eventually he just slows to a stop and just drops to his knees, looking at the forest floor.]

[offallingsnow]

[is on her way to get more food You'd be surprised how much Peony can eat when she sees him run past]

Luke!

[wingedreplica]

[He runs right by her, barely registering she called for him.

You can try again Nephry, but he might not stop.]

[offallingsnow]

Luke, stop!

[that was in her governor voice. If he doesn't stop for even that she's not above chasing him to find out what happened]

[wingedreplica]

[Oh boy, governor voice.

He skids to a stop, and then turns his head.]

...

[belovedoujo]

[ Well, she can hardly miss all that noise in the house. Natalia is more than a little startled when he runs out the door into the snow, but once she peers into Tear's room, she realizes why. ]

Tear...

[ If/when he gets back to the house, she'll just be sitting in the living room. ]

[wingedreplica]

[Awww, Natalia... just sit tight, he'll probably come back later.]

[belovedoujo]

[ Sittin' tight. And flipping through the journal occasionally to check if he's written or said anything. O Luke. So reckless! Expect a stern talking to when you get back. ]

[wingedreplica]

[Eventually he will come back, whether by Eil, Nephry or Asch's hands...

So here he is Natalia, stepping quietly through the front door.]

[ratatosk_knight]

Luke...?

[Voice]

[wingedreplica]

[:( No answer. Sorry Emil.]

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

[Well, he's just going to try calling again.]

Luke? H-hey, Luke!

[Voice]

[wingedreplica]

[Silence.

But he may or may not be running by your place right about now.]
