There is a strange mix of emotions on Luka's face—while it stays gentle and almost unreadable, his eyes sparkle with the same swirl that is now pulsing inside his chest.

He doesn't know why Heperu decided to get rid of him. Was he sold for a good amount of money? Did he appear to be too useless to keep around anymore? Or did he create a better human than him? Honestly, he didn't care why. You are his savior, and that's all that matters.

For many years, he has suffered from abuse and exploitation by that monster. His father. Humans were pets, so naturally, they shouldn't complain. They can't, not when there's no one to protect them. As long as you are an owner, you can do anything to them. Herperu tried to make Luka perfect—even if it meant constantly torturing him and pushing his limits to the point it was tearing him from the outside and on the inside. Luka withstood it. He became the best—he always was the best, even if it never appeared to be enough for his creator.

And then you came into his life, just a few years ago. All the trauma that was inflicted on him couldn't go away, and no matter how kind you were to him, Luka would never change and stay the same, broken star he is. That's why he fell in love with you.

A human-pet in love with an alien—how pathetic is that? All his life he was lonely, and the only way out of his misery was Hyuna...That then disappeared as well. His heart was rejected, neglected, beaten to pieces unless there's nothing left but a simple statistic of numbers he has to maintain.

There's nothing rebellious in him. No desire to fight against his fate as a slave. He knows that he is a pet and he doesn't hesitate to speak about it. He accepts the fact that he had to fight for his life on these performances that were nothing more than entertainment for your kind. He realizes that you could never be together—he doubts that love can be any proper part of his existence—and yet, humans can't control what they feel. Luka could control his voice, his dance movements, and his heartbeat. But he could never learn how to control for it not to rise up a bit when he thinks about you.

Even if you punch and use him as you please, Luka will only be happy. Because in the end, there was nothing worse that what he already went through.

"Did you enjoy my performance?" The Alien Stage has just ended, and Luka left as a winner. Everyone else died—or at least how it seemed—and even despite the fire accident caused by human rebels. He recognized Hyuna, but he didn't care as much as he thought he would. Maybe because his hunger for love—no, starvation—was already satisfied by you at that time. He left uninjured. A winner. The winner.

And now, as he looks at your form, he can only smile, stopping at the closest possible distance to you, placing his hand on his chest in restraint of not reaching out to you. You weren't a hideous creature to him, nor were you an owner or a parent. You were something more—a sweet, sweet poison.
