[Then Luke'll just keep her there, since it's making her feel better. It leaves him a little flustered because uh, hi, a girl is suddenly really close to me, what. But he'll get over it.

In fact, her words make his smile fade just a bit. Ah, right... The Score. One of the most absurd things his world has to offer. But... it's okay to tell her about it.]

My world... has everyone's futures engraved in stone, and I mean that literally. Every year, someone has their future read to them for the next year, and it just goes on and on... and people depend on it way too much.

[He lowers his head to watch his feet.] So much that they're willing to sacrifice thousands of people just to make it come true.

[They're starting to reach the bridge now, and Luke slows his steps just so that he can focus on talking.] I-I... I was supposed to die, you know? The Score said I was supposed to, but that... didn't happen. [And now Luke isn't sure what he's supposed to do. He was supposed to die, but instead... he caused the deaths of thousands. But that isn't his point. He purses his lips to push the thought aside, then looks at Xion and points the apple at himself to make his real point.] I'm the proof that just because your future's laid out for you doesn't mean you have to follow through with it.
