Hearing Luke's cry behind me hammers home the realization that I've turned my back on him. Well, what choice did I have? There was a monster almost upon me, and more on the way, I had to fight what was nearest. Still, the small voice in the back of my head said, in all that melee, said that turning my back was possibly the stupidest thing I could have done.
Except that... he's in pain. He's fighting off monsters that are behind me, and he's taken a blow on my behalf.
He... what?! He did what?!
"Luke!" I shouted. I needed to see if he was all right. Monsters were coming fast, and I needed someone to watch my back.
