A Certain Someone's Memories

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . . . . . . .

I'm sorry for what happened.  I didn't mean any of it, of course, b-but.  It still happened . . .  And I still did what I did.  I don't know if I can really apologize enough.  I'm sorry.  I'm really sorry . . .

[There is sniffling for a few moments before Lucas seems to calm down.]

I don't know if I can make up for it . . . But I heard people are still hurt after everything that happened.  I can try to heal you if you want . . . I know people will ask, but it's kinda . . . it's magic.  And I can fix blindness, too . . .

I'm really, really sorry.

[After this call, Lucas can be found sitting on his front porch looking extremely dejected.  He is aimlessly throwing a yo-yo back and forth, and although he's not doing anything particularly impressive, he seems to have some skill.]

Lucas? What happened?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . When I was droned, I hurt a lot of people. And I mean . . . I ended up beating them, I think.

[bluecapboy.livejournal.com]

[...Oh.]

But that wasn't your fault though. It wasn't actually you doing those things.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

It still happened. And it was because of what I chose to do that I was droned in the first place.

. . . I thought I could hide.

[bluecapboy.livejournal.com]

But Lucas, that could have happened to anyone. You can't blame yourself for it.

...No one can hide in a place like that. It's an awful place.

. . . It's still just really hard to think about it. I'm just glad all of that's over.

How are you doing, Luke?

[bluecapboy.livejournal.com]

Over...? What do you mean?

I made it out better than most, I guess. I, um, lost my sight the night after the factory was destroyed.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . You? That's terrible! They did that to you, too? . . . But we're all back in Mayfield now -- Do you want me to try and help?

[bluecapboy.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh, it's hard to remember all the details but I do remember them breaking into the house. [He shudders.]

You can fix something like that?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I just got away with some broken fingers . . . Which is bad, but not as bad as that. I don't know, but I can try.

[bluecapboy.livejournal.com]

Broken fingers?! Ah, are you all right now?

I guess it couldn't hurt to try.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

It's nothing too serious. I set it myself and I used some of my PSI on it.

I can come over right now if you want.

[bluecapboy.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're all right now.

Ah, that'd be great! Thank you!

((ooc: Unfortunately, I think by the time Lucas would get to Luke's house, Roshia would've mercy killed him. =( ))

[ . . . . . . Well, he's glad to see the Russian lady is back to her normal self at least.]

[Violence solves everything...I suppose.]
