If Luke was never abandoned by the Hughes family from birth, and if it were not for his terrible upbringing, Gwen believed Luke would have turned out to be a gentle person like Steven too. They were brothers by blood, after all. They were separated from the same fertilized egg, grew up in their mother's womb, and came to see the world together.
Alas, the brothers never met when Luke was alive, and their current predicament somewhat mirrored this fact. Luke could see what Steven saw, seeing as he 'existed' as another personality, but Steven did not know about Luke.
It was a tragedy between the two brothers, was it not?
"Are you done?" Suddenly, Denise's voice came into the light behind them. Sean regained his senses and looked back.
Denise sheepishly stared at them. "I didn't mean to disturb your conversation. It's just that…"
She waved the phone in her hand. "The Hughes family butler called me just now. He said Mr. and Mrs. Hughes is at home now, but they'll be leaving in a bit because they have plans. I think…"
She paused for a while. "I think it's better to go back when they're at home. To talk to them nicely."
Sean frowned and looked at Gwen subconsciously.
"It's alright. Go ahead." Gwen smiled at them. "I've said everything that I need to say."
Only then did Sean nod at Gwen, walked over to Denise, and held her hand. "Let's go."
Denise nodded and waved at Gwen as a farewell before leaving with Sean.
