It broke her heart

[And mine.]

[psychometries]

Why would they do that, though?

It was their mistake.

[ oh sweet summer child ]

[unrepentant]

They thought they were making it right maybe.


When she declined they were so quick to say it was her emotions getting the better of her. As if she wasn't allowed to feel hurt. As if some things don't leave a scar.

[psychometries]

I'm sorry.

About what happened.

[unrepentant]

[It's strange how seeing those words makes the whole of him seize up, locks him up in ice.]

No

No

I'm sorry, you don't have anything to apologize for. I shouldn't have said all of that. It isn't appropriate for a Jedi Knight.


My sincerest apologies, Master Kestis.

[psychometries]

[ Now he feels like he said something terribly wrong. Master Kestis? Who's that? ]

Wait, what are you apologizing for?

What's wrong?

[unrepentant]

Its wrong of me to speak this way about the Order. Airing grievances like this makes it clear that I have much to meditate on, and that I've been negligent in releasing such emotions into the Force.

I'm very sorry to have burdened you with my irresponsibility.

[psychometries]

I don't think it's wrong.

[ He types and retypes this next part a couple times, so it takes a moment. ]

If we want to rebuild the Order, then we have to talk about the things it did wrong.

So we can fix them.

[unrepentant]

[Silence reigns for a long time.
And then-]


I've never seen the Order do that.

I don't know if it can.

[psychometries]

The Order is gone now.

[ It looks very harsh, typed out like that. But he fought very hard to accept that harsh truth, to make peace with it, so he doesn't regret it. ]

It has to.

We have to.
