[Well. Cat's out of the bag now. This concerns Luke, but it also concerns their new half-siblings. He wonders if this is precisely why Nephrite told him to 'have fun' when he set out on the mission.
... Damn it. He probably saw it coming, too.
Asch can feel his own headache coming on, but it has nothing to do with memories.]
... Luke doesn't know he's my brother.
We were born twins but we got separated when we were younger. Some people showed up and killed Mother, then they tried to kill us. I got left for dead. [He doesn't like thinking about that.] But for some reason, they took Luke away instead of killing him, too.
When I was older I found out it was Krusnik that stole him. I don't know what those bastards did to him, but they definitely messed with his memory. He got sent away to live with some new family like nothing had happened. When I ran into him again, he didn't recognize me at all.
[There's anger beneath the surface, barely-restrained, but it isn't directed solely at Luke. More his own inaction, his own inability to protect his brother back then, and his own foolishness now.]
