[ Poe tries to work through the swirl of guilt and confusion, that ghostly sense of wheels spinning against each other. It's not hard to figure out where it comes from--those troopers, caught in hesitation for just a moment too long, executed for a moment of doubt.

Poe can't help thinking of his own people, the bombers and escorts destroyed, the guilt he carries with him and will probably carry for the rest of his life. It's a swirl of empathy and sorrow. He gives Finn's shoulders a little squeeze. ]

We'll make sure it happens again. And again. Until everyone who leads the First Order is dead and your people have a chance to decide who they want to be for themselves.

[ His people.

He hasn't thought of them that way. Not in a while, that is. Since he used to think he had a chance of being one of them, if he just tried hard enough.

But the fact is, if they break the First Order down one piece at a time, if most of the soldiers somehow, miraculously, choose to leave once the door is opened-- how many of them have someone or somewhere left to return to? How many of them would have even the potential of something left to find? How many of them would want to try to go back to what they don't remember, never learned to care about?

Even Finn's written off a home planet and a birth family as something he'll never touch. It doesn't hurt. It's just something that's there. Simple fact. He wouldn't trade what he's found for what he doesn't remember losing. Somehow, he doesn't feel like he'd be in the minority with that particular thought process. If it gets to it.

His people.

Maybe they could be.

Poe is such a great friend. Gross. ]

I've heard more impossible things. Might as well add it to the list.

[ Just save the galaxy, make sure Rey becomes the best kickass Jedi in history (already done probably), free all the stormtroopers, grind the bones of the First Order into dust. They'll get home and have that done by dinnertime. ]
