It's another one of the things that they have, unexpectedly, in common: Luther is colossally bad at dealing with change. Hasn't really had to, until this world.
But at least this time they're focusing on the new, strange changes about Diego, not him, and so it's easy enough for Luther to winnow all his attention down to this training, a unique kind of tunnel-vision. When his brother starts reeling back the oppressive manipulation, Luther exhales. Tries, again, to pick through and judge his own emotional state.
"I... think I felt it stop? Not massively, but it's sort of like, if you've had something heavy on your back for a while. And then it's gone. Like you got used to feeling the pressure, and now it's missing, but it's hard to tell exactly when it left. Does that make any sense?"
God, he hates trying to describe this. Both their old abilities were so much more concrete, simple, easy to measure.
