[There's a moment where you can see Luke, looking angry and about to cry, before his fist suddenly descents on the terminal screen, punching it as hard as he can. The view rattles angrily, and again when he plants his hands down on either side of the keyboard hard. His voice is high pitched as he struggles not to cry, but it's a futile effort, and it's not long after he starts speaking before he can't see the terminal because of the tears.]

Jason, you damn bastard!!! How could you make me do those things?! How could you make anyone do those things!? I killed my friends; I killed people I care about because of you! And then you made us tell you about everyone!? Betray everyone?! You... you...!

[He just can't anymore; he sinks down against the terminal, just barely in view as he curls his arms around him, sobbing so hard it feels like his chest is going to burst. It's a moment before he can say anything more, and when he does, it's barely more than a whimper.]

...I hate you... I hate all of you...

[Closing the door and finally setting her cat down, Saber leaned against the door and watched them.]

Someone missed you.

[...dammit, he's going to start crying again. He reached up, wiping his face, but he still didn't let go of his cheagle.]

Th-thanks for looking after him.

Amy has been keeping him company. After we went looking for you and I decided you were not in an area I could access, I brought him here. I had enough fruit to keep him fed and thought it better than leaving him in your room.

[Luke laughed faintly at that.]

Heh... fruits are treats for cheagles. They eat grass normally.

Miiiieuuuu~

[Amnon may need to sneak out and visit Saber every now and then~]

[She gives the cheagle a glance, smiling at him. Oh, the little bugger...]

I was not sure, so I had tried several things. Fruit was the first thing he ate, so that was what I stuck with. But I will remember grass.

...and keep some fruit around anyways.

[She totally understands, Amnon. Food is AMAZING.]

[That finally gets Luke to smile, though sadly.]

Thank you, Saber.

Mieu mieu!

[That smile was what Saber had been aiming for.]

You are welcome. He will help keep bad dreams away.

Right, Amnon?

[Amnon saluted.]

Mieu!

[With a light chuckle, Saber pushes herself off the door and walks over to give him a pat on the head.]

Good boy.
