Volière de Atori

...Aaaaaah. *sighs*

I need to ramble about some headcanon for this to make sense. In short: Trance and Luther managed to make nice after the events of episode 2 (we do not talk about the failship), though it took a lot of arguing, flailing and Trance ending up being basically the perfect host for what remained of Luther's...soul, I suppose you could call it. Enter episode 3, enter Double, enter the creepy little scene in Double's inner world, enter Trance making what was probably the most rash decision of his life and not only letting Luther take up residence in his body, but pretty much demanding him to. So here we have a be-Luthered Trance, who occasionally shares his body with the loser birb after the two of them end up calling a truce of sorts.

Still with me? Good. We're not quite done.

End of episode 3 happens. Persona, who happens to be Trance's original, Lucien, saves Trance from the Profound Darkness and gets PD'd as a result. Trance isn't having this. Trance is damn well determined to get Lucien back. (Lucien has also managed to shove everything that made him, well, him into Trance, so Trance has now effectively become Lucien, which actually is a great help.) Trance gets this opportunity just shortly before the beginning of ep 5, which is where this little bit of traumatic plot comes in.

Why the forcible de-Luthering, though? Well, I had to scramble to figure out a way to get Luther out of the picture, because guess who's back in the ep 5 content. So. Yeah.

(For the record, Trance is recovering. He doesn't like me very much for putting him through this, though.)

( 'You remember what I said earlier about you not helping? Yeah. Still applies.' )
