Acting on feelings, huh. Duster wasn't always sure what he felt, not until long after joining Lucas and Kumatora, and even then he was only going along with what he's always done.
"My feelings tell me to protect my friends most of all. That's what strongest in my heart. But...I might have been ignoring any other kind of feeling that has to do with me. What I want for myself."
He turned to his Shadow, who remained silent, though continuing to look at the real Duster disdainfully.
"Because everyone else's opinion was more important. But thinking about it...I think-- no, I should pay more attention to myself. I do want to stand up for myself, but doing that...it's hard." A hand was held out to the Shadow. "I'll need your help doing that."
The Shadow glanced at the hand, then back to Duster's face. No one moved for a tense minute as Duster's mouth tightened into a line.
"Now that's what I'm talking about." The Shadow gripped his in a handshake, and a light enveloped the two. When all was clear, Duster stood in the middle of the room, hand still outstretched.
