[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?
[ 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. ]
[ 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.

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

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