Guy! Asch! Utena! The harbor! It's... it's under fire!

What should I do? I'm so confused! I'm not ready for this yet! I... I don't want to kill anyone. I don't... I don't want to die.

[XD And Luke runs off not-so heroically! Strikes are hackable to the brave/curiously stupid]

Are you sure you're ready for this?

... stick by me, okay? I want to be able to keep an eye on you.

[r_eplicate]

I don't know! But I can't leave my duty behind!

Are you sure? I don't want to burden you.

[gynophobe]

... I'm just worried.

There's not ... too much I can do with my injuries. I'm getting tired now, too, so we'll help out each other.

[r_eplicate]

Don't over do it, Guy. You shouldn't even be out here with those injuries!

Well, I'll protect you! Or at least I'll try. Please don't get even more hurt.

[gynophobe]

I meant I'm worried about you. You've never killed a person before, have you?

We'll protect each other.

[r_eplicate]

... no I haven't. But I've got to start somewhere, I guess.

Alright. You can count on me.

[gynophobe]

... you don't have to start anywhere. There's a lot more to killing people than you might think, even though it only takes seconds to do. One second to end one person's life could result in a lifelong's worth of guilt. Not to mention, it can make others hate you, or even go so far as to want revenge on you for killing someone dear to them. Do you understand all that, Luke?

Guy...

[r_eplicate]

I... I understand, Guy. But it's my duty now. I signed up for this job, so it's my responsibility, whether I like it or not.

But is there any personal ex-... never mind. It's not my place to ask.

[gynophobe]

... that's good, to realize your responsibility. Good luck, Luke. You've got friends here.

[And that's all you're getting from him, young man.]

[r_eplicate]

Thanks, Guy. It means a lot to me.

[Aw... but he's just so damn curious XD]
