"Why would Rey ever protect a corrupted creature like yourself?" Finn asked Ben, loathsomely. "How could she trust a monster who kills his own father and worries his mother to death. There's something going on between you two isn't there?" Finn reaching for the darkness, fueled by his jealousy and anger towards Ben, lunged at him, screaming, "You dare lay a finger on her, I'll tear you apart. I will destroy you, Kylo Ren. You are the darkest person I've ever met, and I hope you suffer the cruelest punishment for what you did to the galaxy. Goodbye, Kylo Ren."

Ben stood in silence in his quarters, chained to the wall like a Fathier. He prayed that Rey would return, and help him through this mental torture. Finn had a point. Why should he end up with the most forgiving person on the planet if he was the most sinful. He loved her dearly, since she was the only one who could truly understand his pain, but he felt unworthy of her love. He had taken the lives of countless innocents that Rey and his mother had fought to save. Ben, struggling to remain calm under his tense surroundings, reached out in the force. "Be with me. Be with me. Be with me." Ben's mantra wasn't working. It was excrutiatingly hard to focus, but he needed to keep control. "Be with me. Be with me. Be with me." Suddenly, Rey was in front of him, clear as day.

"Ben, are you ok?" Rey asked, worried. "The darkness is getting harder to block out, Rey. I need help." Ben exclaimed, desperate. Reaching out, Rey calmed Ben and sedated him with the force, easing his thoughts back to the light. Rey immediately headed for Finn's quarters, as she now knew the extent of his anger and sense of betrayal towards Rey. Knocking twice, Rey announced, "Finn, I need to talk." Begrudgingly, Finn opened the door. "Why do you trust him?" Finn implored. "He saved my life, Finn," Rey responded. "He almost died saving the galaxy from Palpatine. He rejected Kylo Ren and is now reborn as Ben Solo." There has to be more to it, Finn thought. It didn't add up to him how she could suddenly just trust him. Something must have happened between them, Finn thought. "Did he ever harm you?" Finn asked. "No," Rey replied. "Liar!" Finn shouted. "Why wouldn't he kill you? What would stop him from ending you where you stand?" "His mother," Rey revealed, half-truthingly. She did not want to reveal the intimate bond between Ben and herself. That secret would die with them. "She called out to him in the force, right before she died, and that is what killed Kylo Ren. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to check on Ben."

Rey rushed to Ben's cell, knowing the pull of the dark side was too strong without her help. Arriving at his cell, Rey noticed that Ben was now awake. Rey said, "I sensed you needed my help, so I arrived as soon as I could." "Thank you." Ben replied, thankful. He needed Rey just as much as Rey needed him. "Can you stay with me, Rey?" Ben asked, pleadingly. "Yes, Ben." replied Rey, comfortingly. "I love you, Ben Solo, and I won't let anything stand in the way of that.

Overhearing their conversation, Finn was furious. Rey was giving her life away to the darkest man in the galaxy. She was throwing her life away for that monster. He loved Rey and he wanted what was best for her. He was sure that Kylo Ren was unstable and would tear her apart. Finn was sure of it. He needed to show Rey the monster that everyone else saw. He needed to break Kylo Ren. It wouldn't be an easy task, since Rey could see no wrong in Kylo. I vow to break that man to death and I must take it upon myself to end him, Finn assured himself. The seeds of the dark side were now sewn in Finn's heart. He could not be reached by the light, and he was lost. Ben was in danger.
