[...he had every reason to think that, but... it still hurt.]
Why... you know I'm trying...
[He... he really couldn't take this. He really did want to flip out now, and if he didn't step away... Luke felt tears threatening again, and he wanted to start sobbing again, but he managed to bite it back. Instead he reached up, wiping his eyes with a glove.]
...no. I can't... I can't deal with this anymore. I've gotta step away.
