[Of course it won't work. It won't work permanently but if they can get by for a little while, maybe...but Adam brings up that point. "We'd all know it's true." While he might be a better liar than most people he knows that's not the case for everyone. He doesn't like this. He doesn't like how Adam's calculated suddenly and closed off and for a minute it suddenly reminds him that despite what he may think, no, he hasn't known Adam for ages. He's really only started becoming close to him in the last few weeks. Prior to the end of everything, Luke was capable of making friends fast.
It's for that reason he realizes there's something very, very wrong here. And then Adam says it and it clicks. He'd put Adam in this position last week and that wasn't fair. Adam shouldn't have had to be the morally responsible one here when he's still a kid himself.
Generally speaking there's a lot going on in Luke's head that's playing to his own personal dramatic story that he's a little too embarrassed to fully admit. The nice thing, however, is that it pushes him forward. Should he be worried about being in a room with someone who just admitted they were thinking about killing someone? Maybe. But it's Adam so instead he crosses the room and moves, sitting on the floor in front of Adam's chair to stare up at him. Making sure that Adam's in the power position, so to speak, seems best in order for these kinds of conversations.]
Don't worry about it. [But the set of his jaw and the way his hands twitch over the datapad are signs enough that he's really, really displeased by what he saw.] So...talk to me. This a secret you'd kill for in your own world?
