haaaa it autofilled to hers from penance let's just ignore that

[jedied]

Oh.

Me too, actually.

username? what username???

[hindsights]

Yeah?

For how long?

un: just.rey over here tyvm!

[jedied]

A few days. They were... eventful.

How about you?

[hindsights]

A few days can change a life, huh.

Five years. They were also pretty eventful. [ hence the whole panic and anger floating through the force that he can't squash down. ]

[jedied]

Yeah. It was a lot.

Five years? That's -- you were just here. Are you okay, really? Do you want to talk about it?

[hindsights]

Was some of it good?

Time works strangely here, right? How long... was I gone for here?

Not really. Not yet. [ then a whole lot of starts and stops. ] I was really hoping everyone was just... wrong about it getting worse for a long time.

[jedied]

There were moments. I found the Jedi I was looking for. He was kind of rude to me, honestly. But I did learn a few things. And we survived, but there were too many losses. And I don't know what happens now.

About a week, I think? You were around for the mission with the Cubits, and then you must've gone home.

I'm so sorry. I wish I had better news to bring back.

[hindsights]

Ah. Yeah, sadly there was nothing in the Order's teachings about having to be polite.

I must have. It feels weird to be back... I didn't remember any of this at home.

Your friend Finn. He said it works out in the end, in your lifetime. [ but he really doesn't know how much weight that holds. ] Do you trust him enough to be right about that?

[jedied]

He had his reasons. I just wish things had been different. He's gone now, too.

I do trust Finn. He wouldn't lie to me, though we never got a chance to talk about the details before he left. I don't think he would've wanted to worry me if it gets really bad before it gets better.

He should've warned me about breaking my lightsaber, at least. You wouldn't happen to know how to fix a broken crystal?

[hindsights]

He's gone? What happened?

Sometimes it's like that. It gets really bad before it gets better. [ and other times it really just falls apart. and, hey, that spike of anger in the force again.

but wait--- ] How broken? I had to fix my lightsaber once and had to get a new crystal to do it. That one cracked on me but it was meant to.

[jedied]

He sacrificed himself so the rest of us could get away. That wasn't how it was supposed to be. I was supposed to convince him to join us.

I guess Finn didn't want to tell me the price of our survival.

[ Have some matching sorrow and regret to go with that anger. ]

Really broken. The hilt I can probably repair, but the crystal's cracked and I don't know how to work with it like that.

[ She's not going to throw Kylo under the bus immediately, but if fingers have to be pointed she's not taking all the blame for this one. ]
