Rey sits on the meditation rock, trying to focus while thoughts of Kylo Ren flash though her mind. The way he had looked at her before she closed the door on the Falcon. The pain and uncertainty. It's not like she wasn't pained either. She'd only ever felt so alone after her time in the Dark Side Cave, but shortly after, he was there to comfort her. Lure her into that false sense of comfort just to destroy it with a few words. " I suppose it wasn't totally false... " She says to herself. " Why? Why couldn't he just... Ugh. I can't really blame him. I wasn't ready to give up everything I was striving for either. But, still, I just wish that he could see... "
And just like that, almost as some sort of terrible wish fulfillment, she could sense him behind her, just watching. Rey turns around sharply to find his gaze firmly on her. She sits there, unblinking, refusing to be the first to speak. Kylo Ren, noticing her rigid position, starts. " I wonder how long we are going to have to do this? " He says with a smug smile on his lips as he looks her over before returning to his emotionless state. " Still not talking to me, huh? You might as well get use to seeing me. We don't seem to have a choice in this. " There's a long silence. Rey's lips part, almost as if she's going to speak to him, but then her lips close. Kylo Ren looks her over and then goes on speaking. " Perhaps the force is connecting us still because there is something that you and I should work on? "
The longer the silence drags on, the more irritated Kylo Ren becomes until he explodes in his frustration. " Are you serious!? All this time, not a word from you! About anything! As if seeing you still isn't bad enough, but not speaking to me when I'm the one who should be furious with you! " The words he spoke filled Rey with a rage she couldn't understand. She finally breaks the science she's been so good at maintaining. " You!? You should be furious!? Thank you for not killing me, but asking me to just, let everything end? I don't understand how you think that I could just do that!! " Her whole body is trembling, fist and jaws clenched tightly as she stares him down, breathing heavily.
Kylo Ren looks at her, an eye twitches before he finally replies to her, anger evident in his voice. " I killed Snoke for you! I killed my master and I asked you to do the same! I asked you to join me and you responded to that invitation with a lightsaber... And then, when I woke up sometime later, you were gone. Having fled in Snokes escape craft... I'm the one that has the right to be furious Rey! I thought... I thought we could have had something. You and me. Changing everything. I was wrong." Rey's anger subsides on her face. She opens her mouth to reply, but before she can speak, he vanishes from the room like he does so often. " Ugh! Why!? When will this end!? I'm ready to be done with this. Why must I seem him everyday and be tortured like this? We're on two seperate paths, neither one of us willing to divert. But, still..."
Just as soon as she finishes her thought, the memory of Kylo Ren looking at her after he killed Snoke. She'd stood up to face him and the look in his eyes said that he was ready to survive anything with her. She shook her head to wash the vision away. She found that he popped into her head in too many ways and it only ever confused her more. Moments later, Chewbacca approaches Rey and rambles off some wookie growls. " Is it that time Chewie?" He agrees with a small growl. " Alright Chewie, lets head to Ryloth then. " She smiles at chewie before they head towards the Falcon to head to the new Rebel base. They board the Falcon and depart from Ahch-To.
Across the galaxy on his new ship, Kylo Ren sits alone in his room on his bed. He's left with the only feeling he has after these encounters, confusion. He stands up, and for a moment, lingers on his thoughts of Rey, but then he pulls out his lightsaber, ignites it and begins to destroy everything he can reach while letting out a primal scream. He's full of anger, with no one to take it out on at the current time, or so he thinks. A light knock on the door before it slides up revealing General Hux standing there, pale as ever, looking at the state of things before turning his gaze to the new Supreme Leader.
" Sir... " He asks reluctanly, " Is there an issue to be handled? " Kylo Ren disignites his lightsaber and drops his hand, using the other to get the hair out of his eyes before turning to look at Hux. " Nothing I can't handle... " He repsonds, slightly out of breath. " Then you should know sir, that we have a prisoner here with information on the whereabouts of where The Rebellion is supposedly located. I would have gotten the information myself, but I felt this is someone you should have the pleasure of talking to yourself. " Hux says, proud of himself for the good news. " Excellent General Hux. Take me to him. " Kylo Ren replies with a smirk.
The two of them walk through the ship's halls until the come to a set of holding cells. Hux puts a code into the security panel of the third door on the right and it quickly slides open to reveal Poe Dameron, strapped to the interrogation chair. A wide smile opens on Kylo Rens face before he lets out a chuckle. " Excellent work indeed General Hux. Now, leave us. " He says wickedly. The General hurries away while Kylo Ren approaches the unconscious pilot. He pulls out his lightsaber, and after igniting it, gently touches Poe in the right shoulder and he leaves it there a moment. The lightsaber immediately wakes the pilot with screams until it's removed from his person. Poe let's out a long sigh and looks up at the Sith Lord infront of him with anguish and fear in his eyes. He knows what's coming...
