On his way back home, Luke was busy checking the rewards he had earned from teasing and breaking Thea.
To his delight, the system's quest was progressing exactly as he had hoped.

He knew it was a little petty, maybe even scummy, to torment a woman for his own benefit.

Carrying the guilt of someone's death was another matter entirely.
That would be enough to make him stop.
