[It happened so quickly for Luke. He hadn't even taken three steps forward when that familiar sound started to echo in his ears. A resonating noise... Luke slowed to a halt as he narrowed his eyes and lifted a hand to his temple - it wasn't hurting badly yet. It was just enough to cause his vision and sense of hearing to go out of focus a little.
But then? Then it started to hurt. It was as if a thousand sharpened nails were scraping across a thousand chalkboards, and Luke suddenly had to dig his fingers into his head and double over, letting out a loud groan of pain. He hadn't felt that in a long time... but what was Lorelei doing here? And why was he contacting him now?!]
"Asch...!"
[He and Asch had agreed to keep their link connected and open. Maybe Asch would sense the pain and work on a way to subdue it - there was no way Luke could do it on his own. And right now, Luke couldn't focus at all - what little sunlight that filtered through the trees was too bright for him, and every noise was merely background in the face of the screeching resonance.]
