The Trade Federation was defeated. On Naboo, people were celebrating. In the Senate building on Coruscant, a new Chancellor gained power.
In a small, hidden apartment, however, there was no victory. There was just a Zabrack woman, who was going through her nightly routine. Making dinner, setting aside extra in case her family came back. She was making her way to her table when she froze, dropping and shattering the plate and glass.
She felt cold, and for the first time in her life... Alone.
She rushed to her communicator and sent a message.
Did you feel it too? Is it true?
She waited fearfully, begging any diety that may be listening to let her be wrong. When the reply came through, she broke down, falling to the ground.
Yes.
