Rey sees the messages everywhere, scrawled across walls, on scraps of paper (yellowing, aged, held from the wind by the weight of broken coffee cups), plastered to doors.
‘Infected inside’
‘Untreated—avoid’
‘Contaminated’
‘2 left, 17 days from exposure’
Some notes are worse than others.

Visiting a ruined world in search of ancient texts, Rey stumbles across messages from its dead.
As much as it makes her sad, she reminds herself—and Ben—that they yet have hope.

Lonely, Rey finds comfort in having an imaginary friend in the shape of her ceramic frog. She can't imagine what it'll cost her - or maybe she revels in the consequences.

It’s a tight squeeze; Rey can feel the rough tunnel walls all but scraping off her skin as she goes.
Worst, though, is behind her.
“You don’t want to lose those hands, Solo, you don’t even think of pushing.”
She knows they’re all but hovering inches from her ass.
“Whatever you say Niima.”

The Makers enjoy playing with her, it’s the only explanation.
She’ll be on a crowded planet—it was Coruscant this time—and the sea of people will part, the hazes clear and there he is, a dead man.
Ben.
Then she’ll blink and just like that, he’ll be gone.
It’s the Makers; fucking with her.

‘Eagles’ they called them, American volunteers who’d braved the wide vast deadly Atlantic, souls who flew and fought and died alongside men Rey had known as boys.
She knows better but as the tall Yank with a soft smile and wings on his chest offers to buy her a pint, she wavers.
Says ‘yes’.

Slim as a wand, graceful as the wind, she moves across the stage on pointed shoes, so attuned to the music it seems a very part of her.
The audience sits transfixed, in awe.
Tucked into the rafters above, a man with a scarred face and troubled heart watches.
Smiles.
He can’t but miss her.
