[Asch doesn't respond with anything more than a "hmm"; he doesn't have the words, and he's not interested in Luke's apologies right now. There are other, more important things to deal with, things that don't involve him or his feelings or how "okay" he is or isn't.
He's not ready for those conversations. He's not actually sure if he ever will be, or if he's even ready for the conversations he will allow them to have, but at least he's less inclined to fight against those.
Not yet, though. Let the replica find his real friends, sort it out with them. Learn about this place. And then find him on his own time.
Quietly, he severs the fonic link, sliding back into the position of observing in the background, though he doesn't do it much. He'd much rather wait until Luke comes looking for him, whenever that might be.]
