This can only get worse.

[rendingblast]

Ouch-- that.. That... Just ouch!

[Luke looks up]

I'm back... I don't know how but I am...!

I... I'm so sorry anyone had to see that...

[justtheservant]

[!! Spots you. Is that...]

Luke!

[rendingblast]

Guy!

I-I'm so sorry...

[justtheservant]

[Shakes head, relief very obvious.] You don't have to apologize- I'm just glad you made it back.

What happened, Luke? After the room, you just... vanished.

[rendingblast]

But after all that... [hesitates]

I was a ghost. I could see everyone-- but no one could see me.

[justtheservant]

You mean you were there the whole time we were looking for you?

[rendingblast]

[he nods, looking depressed about this whole experience]

[justtheservant]

Again, I'm just glad it doesn't look like anything happened- Tear was getting pretty worried.

[rendingblast]

Tear?

[justtheservant]

Yeah, she was helping me look. Apparently she saw what happened, too- don't forget to let her know you're alright, okay?

[rendingblast]

But... Who is she?

[justtheservant]

...Luke, this really isn't the time for jokes. [Sounds only half convinced that he thinks you're joking, it's more that he HOPES this is a joke.]

[rendingblast]

But I'm not joking!

[justtheservant]

I was afraid something like this might happen...

But you remember me, right? So, I don't see why you'd only forget Tear. [Thinks. Thanks Luke, he is looking worried again, though he hides it for your sake.] What about Jade? Natalia?

[rendingblast]

Jade, Natalia, Anise, You... Asch... Who is Tear?

[justtheservant]

I wish there was anything I could tell you, but I barely knew her myself. [Serious:] I'll take you to her, maybe that'll help your memory. [He's not too hopeful about it at this point, but there's no chance at ALL if you don't try first.]

[rendingblast]

Okay...
