"It's nothing like that!" Yes, that is a shout, even if Jade's getting up to leave. Hopefully, Jade wasn't counting on not being followed, because Asch is stomping right after him, grabbing at that stupid pointed cape on the man's uniform.

"Nothing. I don't use people, or lie to them, the way he did to me. I don't create people who are born just to die. And if there's a better solution, a way to get us all out of here that doesn't end in an eternity trapped in a dead world alone, I will be the first person there." There's an edge in his eyes, and a bit of disgust like he'd as soon run Jade through as look at him, and for all the times he's given Luke that look in the past, it doesn't often appear for anyone else, especially now. "Don't you dare compare me to him."
