[There was another strained, watery laugh of pained empathy from Setsuna.] You know...when Kira came back as Lucifer, I thought he had been turned, brainwashed, by the guy were were fighting against. That he was being used like that. He killed so many people. But in the end, he was just Lucifer. [Brief pause while Setsuna tries to set aside that pain. He reaches to hold Steve's hand.]
I never thought about it before, how much going through all of that might mess up someone's mind. I've only been taken over by a couple of people, and forced to do stuff I didn't want to. I can only imagine if it was for a long time, and to kill like that. He probably needs a lot of time to heal. Be his own person again.
[He switches from sweet and concerned to frustrated quickly.]
It is mine. Give it back. [It only occurs to him after that his demanding tone is probably a bad idea. When Steve's upset fully registers in Setsuna's brain, he takes a deep breath and answers with a bit more respect in his own voice.]
Yes. I've been smoking. It's been me this whole time.
