You stupid replicas are too damn selfless! There are more people who are waiting for her to come back than there are for me. Mother was able to continue without either of us returning, she should be capable of living without me should it come to that.

[aaaaaand, punches Asch square in the face] You idiot! That wasn't the point of why I told you about that, damnit! That was... that was all because, when it gets down to it, as long as Mother's alive... as long as Mother's okay, I'm happy with that!

But you... you and her... do you think either of you will be happy if one's gone? Do you think it's just her I want to protect from feeling that?!

[ What the hell is with people punching him in the face? He reels, throwing Luke to the ground. ] Do you honestly believe that she is truly okay, inside? She has always put up a brave front for those around her! She would feel her heart crushing and none but father would know!

There's more at stake then our happiness, you dreck! You don't understand a damn thing!

[just looks up at him, eyes completely cold now] So tell me. Just how do you think it would feel, hm? to feel the exact moment that someone so important to you dies? How do you think it was for me, to feel the moment that Asch was run through? To know the moment he took his last breath, to feel that emptiness wash over me and for everything to just go so deathly silent. If you think, for one second, that I want anyone at all to ever feel that, you're sorely mistaken. And I will do whatever I can to prevent both you and her from ever having to.

It must be a pain I can't begin to imagine, but with any luck, neither she nor I will have to know just what that feels like. I didn't ask for your assistance and I don't want it. Do you get that? You have your problems to worry about. Tend to those matters and stay out of ours.

You are my problem now. [because it's better than thinking about the fact that he'll probably never get out of here]

Wh-- What the hell did you just say? [ All these replicas getting close is making him more than a little uncomfortable. ]

[closes his eyes, resting his head back against the ground some] Saving your lives... that'll be something good.

Mind your own damn business, you nosy dreck! [ Clenches his fists and turns on his heel, wings making a ruckus. ]

You should already know that I can't do that, Asch. After all... Lorelei returned my life to me so that I could save people's lives.

Find someone else to save! I don't need your help!

That's too bad. I've already decided.

Shut up! You had best keep away from me and my replica.

Hm. So I guess you're going to assume that Lorelei's power won't be needed to save your lives.

Do you think neither of us are capable of wielding his power as well?

I never said that. But having someone else on hand who's had first-hand experience with what she's going through, as well as who has worked with healing artes as much as I have for the past ten years... even you would have to see where that could be an asset.

... [ Damn you. THIS ISN'T ABOUT LOGIC. ] Fine. If she approves, you may offer your assistance.

...

And Asch. Whatever happened, no matter how bad it is, or was... Well. When you're that important to someone, there's always forgiveness. Talk to her.

...mind your own damn business. Last time I tried to talk to her, she stormed off.

So? Find some way to prove to her that she has no reason to. Prove what she means to you. I'm sure you can.

She has every reason to. So butt out. [ Getting a little too close to home. ]

Do you love her?

That's none of your concern.

Then I'll take that as a yes. If you love her, then show her.

Hmph. She'll likely shove her fist into my jaw again.
