[Luz thought she might have had an idea of what to expect, maybe, but it was obviously very much not THIS. She did not expect Lance to lose it so quickly, to go after the Lantern with such zeal. It wasn't like she didn't understand, of course: the Lantern monsters had caused them to go crazy, and that in turn had led to Lance doing something that was unthinkable.

And honestly, Luz could relate. She remembered having this very real feeling when Eda had been captured, or when she'd finally caught up with Lilith. She could even attribute it to the Cave cannibals and how she's burned them all and not let one go free.

But this? She knew it wasn't just anger, but a memory of something he'd done under duress, just as he was attacking the Lantern in the same way. Luz knew she was witnessing a breakdown, a detachment from reality. She went after him now, and as he heaved, she put her hands on his shoulders].

Lance, Lance! Calm down. It's gone. You-it's not there. Cálmate. You're just going to hurt yourself this way.
