[ It's kind of weird, hearing all the things that happened to her. And then it's weird that it's weird, because they went their whole lives doing things without each other. At the very least, she survived on her own her whole life, and he'd never been genuinely alone in his. Isolated, but not alone.

Maybe it shouldn't have felt like so much, being separated after a day or two. It did, though. Maybe that was just him. Not used to feeling adrift. Hard to wake up to a war you were trying to pretend you could choose to leave behind, without the first person you'd ever known beyond a doubt was worth fighting for.

Any advantage is one more than we had. Definitely can't say I got anything like that to bring to the table. [ Information like that would only matter to Hux if it got out here, but it's definitely a powerful bit of information to have on their side.

Finn can't come up with much to say about Ren. Not killing Rey was a choice, and that says something. Snoke had it coming. He's glad that's how it played out, he's glad that Rey is alive. Kylo Ren had a hand in that, regardless of the hand he'd had in trying the opposite a couple of days earlier. No arguing that.

Not hard to notice that he rolled in with the First Order afterwards, though. One more in a line of choices. Heavy-duty warfare against twenty-something people trapped in a cave. Stalking out to face Skywalker on his own.

And life's not black and white, it's not easy sums and subtractions on a moral scale.

But there are only two sides in this war.

Finn thinks he's getting awfully good at not knowing what to think about things. ]

It sounds like you had about as hard a time as we did. Maybe worse, some of it.
