[ a small laugh, dark. ]

My father created me to win because he was jealous of another. [ he is going to get beat to hell for this but that's fine. ]

Because of that I was created to be perfect and not allowed to be anything but. I barely spent time in the Garden because most of my life he trained me personally. He believes that fear is the greatest weakness one can have, so I learned how not to fear anything at all.

Do you know how painful it is to have your heart stop? That was his favorite method. My father has no grief, but I am the one who carries his happiness.

[ smile. ]

Make the memories your own, paint them how you like.

[God. Luka's independence comes from such a sad, dark place. It has given him strength, and in many ways it is the strength of heart that Verso himself sometimes lacks, but at what cost?

His mother, at least, provided him pain in another way. A curse of living as someone else, a walking stolen identity, and the ceaseless fate of an immortal.]

...if you subscribe to that idea, Luka, then tell me: what memories do you plan on making here? What are you going to paint for yourself?

[beatmatching]

[ oh he's being called out. he half-expected as much and it makes his lips curl upward. ]

There is someone I like. Actually like, unlike the show I put on with Yingying.

[ he likes yingying too actually, but not in that way. ]

...I told you, didn't I? I'm not very good at denying myself anything.

[ he hasn't firmly decided if he'll tell her yet. but he knows in his heart that he will. sooner rather than later, and loud enough for everyone to hear. ]

[reverso]

You'll not hear me trying to convince you otherwise.

[But.]

But after that, when the game's over? Will you let go of all of it and return home the same as before?

[beatmatching]

[ hilariously he hasn't thought that far ahead, despite everything he's said. it's clear on his face too, his expression unreadable. not blank, but lost in the clouds somewhere. ]

Suspense comes from not knowing what will happen next.

[reverso]

[Clearly.]

I hope, in the end, you end up choosing for your own sake, Luka.
