On the other end of the line, Joshua stayed silent for a while before saying hesitantly, "You're…Luke now?"
The man frowned and said, "Take a guess."
It was another moment of silence.
After a while, Joshua asked, "Did something bad happen? Why is it you now?"
"Yep. Something happened." Luke—in Steven's body—looked in the direction where Gwen left and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He lit it up and said with a frown, "There's a man with Gwen."
Joshua frowned. "So that's why you came out? Because you're jealous? That's a new way to trigger the change of personality."
Luke rolled his eyes. "I'm not finished. That man is from Sea City. I think he, Luna, and Gwen were high school classmates."
"The guy is pursuing Gwen?" Joshua leaned back on the office chair with a smile on his face. "I told you. Since Steven allowed you to share the body with him, you should just go find Gwen and tell her everything. You two can continue to be together.
"You won't have to be the invisible man in her life that exists only as her bodyguard. The guy won't have the chance to pursue her, even if he was her classmate."
Luke blew a ring made out of smoke. As the smoke flew away, he furrowed his eyebrows. "I told you this. Even if Steven allows me to share this body with him, he's still the pilot of this body. I don't want to sleep with Gwen the night before, only for her to realize she's hugging Steven first thing the next day. It'd be a nightmare for her."
Joshua frowned. "Why is it a nightmare? Steven isn't that annoying."
"That isn't the problem. Gwen doesn't like him as a lover, and she'd never be in love with him. In this situation, if Gwen finds out the man she's hugging is suddenly Steven, she'd be very upset. So would I."
