“I’m afraid it runs in the family and simply cannot be avoided.”

“I know you are but what am I?”

he’s the goodest man

“Do you have enough credits for five of ‘em?”

“...Never had any myself. Ask Grandpa.”

Rey speaks those words as if there is nothing weighty about them, as if they are obvious and do not require effort. For one who has grown up so much of her life alone and unloved, her heart is pure. She is not infallible, she can be susceptible to fear and to darkness just as he but where he ran from fear she strands in the face of it. Ren looks down to his lightsaber and back up to Rey as he takes in a breath. It’s been leading to this, he knew it the first time those words had passed his lips, but he hadn’t been ready to stop running then. He turns away from her, pulls his arm back, and launches the lightsaber far into the distance. It is not the one he’d crafted whilst at Luke’s academy (he’d left that one behind) but the one he’d made when he’d become Kylo Ren. When he turns back to her, he feels a weight lifted, but his blood rushing through his veins all the same. He has no idea what comes next.

Padmé grins down at Rey from the tree, squinting slightly. “Watcha doin’ Sunshine?” she calls down to her sister. “Not causing trouble, are you?”
