Rey is still searching for her place. Kylo Ren is determined that he knows his. Bound together in a way that they can neither fully understand or explain, they continue to walk their chosen paths, despite the pull they feel to one another. They cannot undo what has been done...and as time passes, they become less certain that they would even want to try. Post TLJ. Reylo.

After the Throne Room battle, Ben whisks Rey away on a galactic quest to discover the meaning of their connection, forsaking both the First Order and the Resistance. They must work together to find out what the Force wants from them, as they gradually begin to learn about each other and the true nature of balance.
