you aren't alone
you're never gonna be alone, as long as me and eddie are here
and i know that it's different but still

you can't worry too much about how you SHOULD be feeling
feelings just happen and then you decide where to go from there.
it's okay to feel upset

but you don't gotta go through it on your own.

It's not the same, Cisco. It's not.
It's a feeling--a connection, and...it's gone.
It's gone and I should've expected it to go away but...I didn't want to.

[Something else she didn't want to admit out loud, but she is to Cisco.

She doesn't even get to replying to the rest, quietly crying to herself--update that she feels this way, and even more upset that she can't get a hold of her feelings. Crying helps, in some instances, but she wanted to be in control. She didn't want to unravel.]

[ Cisco has got to just take her word on that; he knows better than to push, when it comes to Force stuff. It's as much a religion as anything else, and Rey is allowed to have her beliefs, even if they don't make much sense to Cisco. When she says that she felt a connection with Kylo, he just has to trust that. ]

it wasn't wrong, not to expect it
no one is so prepared that life can't take them by surprise ok?
it's impossible
don't blame yourself on top of everything

i'll be there soon.

[ He sends that last message a little later, after Rey doesn't reply; she sounds like she's feeling pretty low, and there's a lot a hug can say better than a million texts. ]
