He sniffled.
Sidious paused, the tip of the machine hovering for a moment. “There, there, pet,” he said, voice a low, mocking croon. “No need to cry. We both know it could be much worse.”
That much worse freed the held-back sob from Obi-Wan’s chest—an insubstantial sound awash with wet and desperate grief. His shaking intensified, his chest heaving as his resolve broke.
Sidious shushed him. “Be still.”
He tried. He tried, he tried, he tried.
He failed.
Violent tremors wracked through his body. Thick, unquenchable tears poured down his face. Palpatine’s heavy sigh made a silent scream bubble up on his tongue and sparked terrified rebellion in his limbs. He thrashed, the cuffs rattling inescapably.
“Be still,” Sidious snapped.
The Force threaded hooks through Obi-Wan’s mind and yanked him into compliance. As quick as a flipped switch, it rendered him limp, immobile. Barely even breathing. Unable to twitch even a single muscle. The compulsion smothered his will in the Sith’s power, snuffing out every spark of struggle in his body. And with it, the fight in his mind died to ash.
“Much better,” Sidious said, petting his hip. “Wouldn’t you agree?”
He blinked up at the white ceiling, moisture blurring his vision.
