Luke ... the Key that rests within you, that must be removed ...

Luke? dammit...

[saynotobadtouch]

Nn ... Jing ... whenever this ... bullshit ends, I'm ... I'm sleeping for a month ...

... did he ... that time, did he say anything about what ... needs to be removed ...? I want this over ... head hurts ...

Re: voice response;

[thieveryofstars]

No... I'm sorry. All he said was, "His pain is something else entirely. Something that must be removed from him, but only he can do that."

I would help you if I only knew how...

voice response;

[saynotobadtouch]

He's so helpful ... you'd think ... the source of healing and all ... wouldn't hurt so goddamn much ...

Luke... there must be... what if... maybe it's something we can bring to Yuuko. You don't deserve this.

voice response;

[saynotobadtouch]

She said before ... she can't do anything for me anymore. Maybe because of ...

... I need to figure out what he mea-

... oh.

Re: voice response;

[thieveryofstars]

A hint, a clue, anything! Anything to stop this...

...

"Oh"? What, oh?

voice response;

[saynotobadtouch]

... he told me the hint. Getting this ... Key out of myself ... I ... can't be in control of myself ... if that secret is needed ...

Damnit ... I don't want anyone to know that ...

Re: voice response;

[thieveryofstars]

In control of yourself? So Lorelei has to be in control?

There can't be any secret worth putting yourself through this for!

voice response;

[saynotobadtouch]

Not Lorelei ... I don't think ...

I'm someone's creation ... it's only logical there'd be a way to ... control me. I didn't want anyone to know it ... but ... but if someone knows ... then I can get the Key out and ... and then this will stop ... it ... should stop ...

Re: voice response;

[thieveryofstars]

But... no one here would try to control you...

voice response;

[saynotobadtouch]

Someone would ... but I wouldn't trust him with that ... for Luke's sake, I wouldn't ...

... but ... if I asked someone ... if I asked them to ... s-so they could help ... wouldn't they ...?

They would help you without a second thought, Luke. Any of your friends would. That's what friends do.
