So now, Luke didn't want to be like Dave, but that didn't mean he wouldn't play some schemes to get closer to Hera. He knew the others would.
He knew that Zhane hadn't asked for equal chances for everyone out of fairness; he did it because he feared someone might monopolize Hera's attention, leaving the rest without a chance. As someone as busy as Zhane, he was already at a disadvantage, whereas someone like Dave, with plenty of free time, had a clear advantage.
By asking for an equal chance, Zhane was giving himself a breather, preventing himself from feeling flustered. It was only Dave who grew impatient and flustered, knowing he had no inherent advantage over the others.
Luke stood beside Hera, helping her fold her long sleeves before they began washing the dishes together. His forearms lightly brushed against hers as he asked, "Do you have any plans after this?"
