Why, why, why hadn't Obi Wan thought this through? he'd known that Anakin struggled with letting things go. the whole situation after losing his mother... he clung to Obi Wan a lot after that. to lose both parents... well, he thought of Obi Wan as one.
Stupid stupid stupid! he should have known! but no, he looked at Anakin, expected of Anakin what he would of any jedi. he overlooked his past. Obi Wan felt personally responsible. after all, he had been the one who suggested Anakin be left out.
why hadn't he seen Anakin's obvious attachment to him before? the way he flinched every time Obi Wan got hurt, the way he'd throw away his life just to protect Obi Wan from getting a scratch. what he had done was dumb.
"Sir, we are aprotching the temple." the shuttle driver slowed on the landing pad, and Obi Wan jumped off and ran for the halls of healing hoping it wasn't too late. begging the force it wasn't too late.
he barged in Anakin room finally.
It... it was too late. he was too late.
Anakin was... gone.
