Ep. 22: Luke and Asch unite to remove Miasma while Luke accepts his fate as the sacrifice.
Luke and his companions rush to the tower summit to prevent Asch from sacrificing himself and the Replicas to eliminate Miasma. Dist reappears in a new machine, but Jade defeats him with Mystic Cage. Asch leaves the decision of self-sacrifice to the Replicas. At Kimlasca, Jade proposes using Luke to save Asch. Despite Tear’s efforts to dissuade him, Luke chooses this path. The Replicas agree to proceed if those outside the tower survive. As Luke begins the transference with the Key of Lorelei, Asch assists him. Their teamwork reveals the Jewel of Lorelei within Luke as his body fades. Miasma vanishes completely. Asch departs, and Jade urges Luke to seek examination in Belkend. Luke admits he is dying, a secret overheard only by Tear and Mieu.
