Luke frowns in worry and reaches his free hand down to give her cheek the lightest brush of his fingers, hesitates... In a way, he's almost afraid to see what's under there. What is it that's causing her to be this way? To act... he doesn't even know how she's acting. But... there's something wrong with her, and he needs to find out what.
So, Luke brings his hand up to take her hood and try to pull it back... only to find that it's impossible. He doesn't want to yank too hard, but no matter how hard he pulls otherwise, the hood stays as if it's glued on. And upon leaning down to get a good look at her face above her nose... All he sees is darkness. Even a hood shouldn't cover someone's face with that much darkness...
Except... he sees a few features. Not the ones he knows so well... They're like...
Like a doll.
Is... that what she turned into? The basic form of herself? What she really...
The realization makes Luke widen his eyes, but nothing more. So... this is Xion, when she has no memories to define her, to guide her movements. A doll... Like he would've been, were he created without Asch to be copied from.]
