Although a relationship between Tear and Luke doesn't come to fruition during the course of the game, these two are undoubtedly in love. At the start, the two got along terribly: Tear thought of Luke as a nuisance, while Luke thought Tear was a jerk. But as Luke begins to change and grow into a better person, and Tear begins to open her hear to others, their relationship deepens beyond what either expected it to.

For Tear, falling in love was a slow process. But despite this, she's the first to admit her feelings. Luke himself never tells her how he feels in the game, but his actions speak for him.

Below is a collection of quotes and scenes that show everything from the attraction, the friendship, the respect and the strong bond that develops between Tear and Luke.

Just in case you're wondering...this section will be replaced! Enjoy what's here for the time being, please and thanks

Anise: Just you wait, I'll get as big as Tear when I'm grown up!
Luke: Please. No way you could hope to match those melons!
Tear: M-MELONS?! Both of you! Stop being stupid and be quiet! Now!

Luke: Tear, are you okay? You look pale.
Tear: I do? I...I'm fine.
Guy: All this snow blowing around would get to anyone after a while.
Tear: No, really, I'm fine. Don't worry.
Guy: Yeah, but in this weather...
Tear: I'm fine, really!
Luke: Oh, I know! Hey, Anise...make that doll of yours really big. That way Tear can snuggle with it and warm up.
Tear: What??
Anise: With my doll? Well, I could, but wouldn't Tear be embarrassed?
Tear: I, um...
Luke: Oh, yeah. I guess she would be.
Guy: Tear's got her pride, after all.
Anise: I mean, I don't mind, but...
Luke: Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to get Jade to use fonic artes...
Tear: But...I wanted the doll...

Luke: Tear...If it's too painful, you don't have to come with us.
Tear: You idiot. I promised I'd watch you.
Luke: Tear...
Tear: And besides, as his sister...it's my role to end his life.
Luke: Just don't push yourself.
Tear: ...Thanks, Luke.

Luke blushes.
Tear: You're bleeding.
Mieu: Tear's right! We have to do something!
Tear: Hold on. I'll heal you--
Luke: It's no big deal! It'll heal on it's own!
Tear: What are you so mad about?
Luke: I'm not mad! A-anyway, let's keep going. Maybe we can join up with the others.
Tear: ?
Luke: R-right. Okay.

More to come...
