Luna fell silent after hearing this.
A split second later, she could not help sighing. "What on earth are you talking about, Joshua?
"Gwen hasn't even claimed that Luke is still alive; the only thing she ever mentioned was dreaming of him. Why would you, out of all people, think he is?
"Besides, weren't you the one who brought Luke's body out of the operation theater with my brother and buried him? You said that his body was already charred...so how can he possibly still be alive?"
Joshua closed his eyes as a bitter smile crept across his face.
Luna was right...
He and Jim were the ones to bring Luke's body away.
However, at that time, they were both so overcome by their grief that they could not bear to even lay a second glance at Luke's body.
Not only that, but they had no idea that Luke even had a twin brother, so none of them ever suspected any foul play at all.
Luna realized that she had come off a little harsh when met with Joshua's silence. She bit her lip nervously and said, "Joshua, I wasn't trying to be mean. All I wanted to say is...it's time to face the truth.
"Luke's no longer here, and there aren’t many miracles in real life. I know that you and Luke were close, and I'm also upset by his passing, but...since even Gwen has begun to move on, you should, too.
"Life has to go on."
