[Luke hated it that his meeting with his brother had gone so sour after not seeing him for so long. He knew it was stupid to think that Asch would magically like him and accept him as a brother, but...the hope was still there. He supposed things like that wouldn't happen on their own, and that he was to make an effort as well. For now, Luke stands there thoughtfully, playing with what seems a locket, the only thing his mother could give him before the attack.]

...Asch. I have something for you.

[Anyone can come in and bother him though.]

...'course I do. It's Mom's.

...She gave it to me as we were running through the manor. [Shows him the broken chain] It's the only thing that's left of her. I want you to have it.

*rubs at his temples, not able to look a the chain any longer.* ....why? You should keep it.

She was asking for you the whole time, wondering how you were.

...

Just what I don't need. A reminder of how I should've been there. You hang onto it for now.

I've hung onto it for long enough.

Besides, it's not like I want to open it or anything. I'm afraid I'll break it if I do.

Then hang onto it a bit more. She gave it to you anyways.

You think I want to risk it either? No way in hell.

When we were trying to escape, mother told me "Find your brother, and keep each other safe..."

You've always been more careful than I have anyways...[Gives it to him]

....fine. *gingerly takes the locket, rubbing a bit of dirt off.* At least things seem safe enough here.

There are no zombies, at least. I still fight monsters all the time when I wander out at night.

...I think you can open it through the right side.

Monsters? What the hell are you thinking by going out with crap like that roaming?!

..tch. Idiot. *eases the locket open, but doesn't look inside.*

It's better than staying inside, and I can fight them well now. I don't get hurt that much.

What's inside?

They're probably afraid they'll catch your stupidity or something.

*flips it open and stares for a moment.* ....pictures, dreck.

Right...

Can I see?

...here. *takes one last look before holding it out to him.*

[Looks at the pictures, a bit surprised] When...was this? I don't remember.

Damned if I know. Must've been close to ten years, I guess.

I wouldn't...remember that then. [Smiles sadly.]

Keep it. It might help you remember. *is he smiling? no, can't be.*

[Closes the locket.]

...Why do you hate me? If I ever gave you reason to, I really don't remember.

....you sided with that blond bastard. I doubt you can forget that.

When?
