"It wasn't no normal sickness, not cancer," He admitted, "That's a lie. It was poison. He got stung by one of them giant scorpions from the underground caverns. I tried to save him, but," Luke lowered his arm and tapped his scar. "Stinger went right through me, and he got all the poison..." Luke tensed up and lowered his shirt. "After that day, I wasn't able to forgive myself. Bobba wouldn't talk to me, every day I went to visit him. Back then he was a lot older than me, so I thought he was depressed, facin' the end and all. But.. He was teaching me something." Luke rose his hand behind his head again and chuckled lightly. "The day he died, I walked in with a smile, pretending to be alright. He looked at me and smiled back. After a month of sayin' nothin' and staring at the ceiling, he smiled back and said the words the changed me for the better, I think."

	"I was going to die either way, Luke. Now, look at what you've gone and done to yourself"[/i]

	"Ever since then, I hadn't been able to harness my Ki or arcane energy the same way." Luke grunted. "I used to be pretty strong, y'know. Stronger than most people. Bobba taught me how with those fancy books o' his. He was from a different time, after all." Luke sat back up and stood his back straight. "Bobba was right. What was there to be gained from saving him? He was dead, either way, whether it be through age, a monster, a villain, he was gonna die. We're all gonna die." Luke flexed his hand a few times, staring at it intently. "We shouldn't be protecting life. Life isn't what's important." Luke began scratching his head, and chuckled again. "What's important is happiness. What point is there livin' if you can't smile and be the best you that you can be? People die all the time Jenso." Right this second, there's somebody getting stabbed to death, coughing up blood, or dying from a disease. Hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions. How would you feel if they came up to you, one after another," Luke turned to Jenso and looked at him as if he were a villain, "And said to you, looking at you like this:"

	"Why weren't you there? Why couldn't you save my mother? Where were you?"

	"All while you were busy fighting a threat that posed more danger to the entire world than cancer ever will?" Luke grunted. "Priorities, Jenso. Keep your priorities straight, and that's how you'll learn to calm your soul." Luke began chuckling once again and patted his scar. "Even so, I don't regret what I did. If it wasn't for that action, I never would have learned how to prioritise. I would have been the same idiot who wanted to do the impossible."
