[Rey braced herself to face any emotions Finn might feel: anger, hurt, disappointment. She was expecting things to be bad. She was used to preparing for the worse, something that helped her survivor for this long. She was prepared to be yelled at, be scolded, and it's...it's a relief to have Finn tell her 'it's okay.'

Like...they were talking about the weather. It's okay.

No screaming, no shouting. No one telling her she was a bad friend for keeping this from him. No one saying his trust in her was broken. It's more than a relief, it feels like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders. The beginnings of a sad smile danced across her lips, but she averted her gaze, staring at the floor as she gathered her thoughts and emotions.]

I've been dealing with it as best as I can. Cisco knows...made sure I didn't drink too much from it.

[She looked up at Finn, guilt and sadness in her brown eyes.]

I'm sorry for not telling you first, and not telling you sooner. I didn't know how you'd react--but that's not an excuse. But, we can deal with Ren later. [Because she doesn't want to think about it. As frustrating as the bond is...it reminds her she's not alone. There is another like her--and there lies the frustration. Trying to get over someone but they were tied together.]

We need to figure out how to deal with this--us being connected.
