Drabble from TFA when Han and Finn find Rey on Starkiller base after she escaped the interrogation with Kylo-Ren. This is how I imagined the underlying convo going. As a parent you always hope that even if your child isn't perfect, or in a dark place, that there are lines they will not cross.
Did he hurt you?
You hear the real question in Big Deals tense voice.
Did he rape you?
Your son has repeatedly committed acts that are considered irredeemable.
Murder, torture, maiming.
You watched him carry her onto the ship, his hold on her practically marital.
It seems darkly comical to think about marriage given the circumstances.
Did he hurt you?
He says it after you asked if she was alright. He doesn't trust your son and has no reason to.
He knows under the mask Kylo Ren is a man and that the girl is an attractive woman.
Not that attraction has ever had anything to do with it.
At this point you are not sure a higher power exists but you've prayed that your son never utilizes one of the most violating weapons of war: rape.
She reassures Big Deal that she is OK. At least when it comes to that.
You believe her.
There is not a scratch on her.
And just for a moment you have hope that your son's humanity is not completely gone.
