The first time it happens, there is a great disturbance in the Force. They both feel it. It's a pain in their chests, causing them both to struggle for breath. First Han. Then Luke. And now Leia. It's the first time since they parted ways on Crait that they share another moment through the Force. The pain is so great that they're unable to stand. They sit down facing each other. So close and yet so far apart. When she sees him, there is only one thing she can say.

"I'm sorry."

"Are you?"

His words are sharp and bitter. She sighs. "I know you're angry with me." He does not respond, refusing to meet her eyes, even though deep down there is nothing he would like more than to lose himself in those hazel orbs. With pursed lips, he fights back the tears. "I'm sorry it's come to this," she whispers kindly. "Maybe the visions were wrong. Maybe you won't turn. But that doesn't matter." She makes a pause, then… "Ben." As always, he can't deny her when she says his name. He can't resist to look at her, no matter how much he might hate her at the moment. "I still have faith in you." His lips tremble and silent tears roll down his face. At this point, she is crying too. "I'm sorry," she says one last time before the connection is broken and they are alone again.
