*On Dantooine, after Revan was captured by Bastila and other jedi knights*

Bastila: You disobeyed our masters, led other jedi to the war, became Supreme Commander of the Republic against the will of the Jedi Council, mercilessly killed Mandalorians, destroyed Malachor V, broke the rule of affection and had an affair with Malak, betrayed the Republic, fell to the Dark Side...

(Darth) Revan *in a force cage*: So you have listed my main achievements in recent years. As I see it, my shortcomings will come next, won't they?

Thanks to @lazygizka repost today, I recalled the post, got inspired, and another idea came to my mind. It's kind of similar to the post below, but not the same:

To express my opinion about possible relationship of Revan and Carth after the Star Forge battle, I could give a long talk why it wouldn't work. I guess that I'll write a short fic about that one day. But many years ago I found that fic that describes my view on revanasi perfectly!

I totally agree with how their relationship goes after Kotor 1 in this short story. The thing is that I see how Carth may love either the identity of amnesiac Revan or the 'mix' of her real self and the false one. But! The more Revan remembers her real past and realizes who she really is, the more complicated her relationship with Carth becomes because they like from different universes. Carth can't deal with all this Force stuff while for Revan it is the most natural thing (can't also forget she was a Kreia's student). He doesn't have neither enough power to support her, nor enough knowledge of Force sensitives and their problems. She has that 'dark past' behind and difficulty in mentioning it and some of the people who used to be the closest to her as, obviously, these are Carth's trigger points. Despite all the issues Carth dealt with, he is much closer to a normal person who's eager for a normal life while Revan often 'looks for troubles and new adventures' to her cost. Revan intends to get all the memories back, which might be pretty annoying for Carth. I'm not sure, he wants to lose the very woman he loved during the journey. I'm not sure, he can truly understand 'real Revan'.

So I'm not surprised their romance may be broken when Revan goes away to recover the memories and find out something concerning the Sith and the Emperor.

Thus, as for me, the phrase 'It's so much easier to love her when she's gone' is a real pleasure and makes sense when taking the above into account.

Peace is a lie as well, and it happened Revan was such a good liar when betrayed everything that had been essentially important for both of them before.

His own world is a lie and Malak probably miss those times it was different...
