After Story
Luke: Perfect timing, I'm done. Want to take a walk?
Intimate Interaction
(Amelia messaged me for the first time, a month after she left Mist City.)
(I can finally relax now that she and Randy have settled down overseas.)
(Now, I spend my days at Luke's office, helping him organize his cases.)
You: Luke, your hat's getting old. Why don't we go buy a new one?
Luke: Sure, I remember I have this hat because my father said every Bakerlon gentleman should have a hat, so he insisted that I buy one.
You: I see. Well, we can buy another one similar to this.
(if repeated)
(Luke's adoptive father bought the hat for him. He must have thought highly of Luke.)
(Luke's brooch looks familiar.)
Luke: Hmm? Why do you keep staring at my brooch? Do you find it familiar?
You: Yeah, it feels like I've seen the key on it somewhere.
Luke: You have. It is modeled after the key to the attic in the orphanage we stayed at.
You: Eh? Why did you model it after that key?
Luke: Because that attic contained many of our beautiful memories. It was where you taught me to dance.
Luke: I wear it on days when we're apart to remind me of our past.
(if repeated)
(Luke cares more about our past than I thought.)
Black envelope...
(A black letter? I remember Stubbs said a black letter represents something important...)
You: Luke, did you accept a big case recently?
Luke: No, what would make you think that?
You: Why would you need a black letter if not for a big case? Let me see the recipient... Wait, why is it me!?
Luke: It's a letter I wrote to you, so of course, it's addressed to you.
You: But why a letter? We see each other every day, so you can just tell me in person.
Luke: I find some things hard to say to you in person. I can express myself better in a letter.
You: So what did you write in the letter?
Luke: A lot. Basically, every important thing that happened during the time we were apart, and... how I felt about you all these years.
Luke: I may have gone overboard. It took me days to finish writing the letter, so you might think it's too long.
You: No way, I've always wondered what happened in the years we were apart.
You: Now that I finally have the chance, I won't pass it up.
Luke: Good. How about you also write me a letter afterward? It doesn't matter what you write or how long the letter is.
You: Luke, are you... trying to make up for not keeping your promise of writing me letters back then?
Luke: Guilty as charged. I couldn't keep my promise because of everything that happened. So I...
You: In that case, why don't we write each other a letter every month for seven months? That will make up for the past eight years.
Luke: Sure, I thought you would try to talk me out of clinging to the past.
You: I do think that. But more than that, I hope that you can head into the future with me without any regrets.
Luke: Yeah, from now on, being with you every day is perfect.
