[Somehow Luke was both the first and the last person she wanted to see. What had Van called him? A "replica"? Luke sure seemed real enough standing there... More real than a lot of the people she had met since showing up on this island. What was that even supposed to mean in the first place? Some irrational part of the woman's mind refused to believe it, but then, even Luke had acknowledged it at some point during the past. He hadn't seemed happy about it, though, and Tear didn't plan on telling him about it now. Or ever.]
Yes. I help out at the shrine every now and then. I... was thinking I should take some time off from work, so I did.
[Tear forced a smile. It was one of those types she was supposed to use at the cafe when dealing with customers - polite, approachable, but obviously disconnected from any emotions she might be feeling. Well, it wasn't as if Tear was about to cry, either. Tear didn't let herself cry often.
[Then she became aware that maybe there was a problem.] Is something wrong?
