[ lumine says nothing more, pulling into the basement parking of her apartment and finding an empty spot somewhere close.
honestly, though, she doesn't know if she can or she wants to trust her counterpart. like sure, lumine's quite capable and so is childe, having had so much more experience over them, but the past few weeks haven't been too kind on her. the way lumine's trying to coax her into assimilating, taking over when she sees fit, has been uncomfortable, unsettling. the way she seems to twist her feelings so it reflects her own, blurring the lines between ajax and childeβit feels invasive, terrifying.
in any case, she picks up aether's phone and her purse from the car seat, walking towards the elevator and waiting for ajax right outside. maybe if they had explained it to them, maybe if they had said something, she would've considered it. but as it stands ... it's too risky for the both of them. and losing one for the other's sake just doesn't sit with her well. ]
