Ahsoka's Private Journal

"I'm just gonna come right out and say it: Aphran was too much, too far.

"What I mean is... Wraith was down for the count. That last hit really did him in, we all heard the crack of his bones being broken. But when he should've stopped, Anakin ordered the blaze troopers to keep going, to keep attacking Wraith."

...

"It's his ego. I'm sure of it. Skyguy's never fully recovered from his fight on Tibrin. He's determined to beat Wraith and he won't stop until he has. Wraith tore a really big strip off of him and Anakin wants it back... which may or may not be a good thing."

...

"You know, he's become really... vengeful. Especially after Tibrin. Whenever someone mentions Wraith or we run into him, Skyguy gets all dark and... kinda scary, to be honest. I can feel his anger through the Force. He hates Wraith because of what he did to him and the Clones.

"And it seems Wraith hates Anakin just as much."

...

"I can't get anywhere in a conversation with him, Mygeeto taught me that much. Anakin and the other masters are... really single-minded when it comes to Wraith. He's a threat that needs to be stopped and that's it.

"They don't see what I see.

"Sure, maybe it's because he's romantically attracted to me... but maybe there really is some good in him that only shines through when he's with me."

...

"Commander Thrawn is right, there is something more to Wraith and it's probably because I'm the only one who doesn't want him dead."

...

"I know, I know. Why? Why save him? I don't know. I guess I'm just trying to save him because... because in the middle of the darkness of this war, in the midst of a darkened individual, clouded and obscured, I see a tiny bit of light. And I just want to bring it out. I want to help people and, despite what everybody else says, I think I can help The Wraith. Isn't it our duty as Jedi to save people? To try and redeem the seemingly 'unredeemable'? Since when did we trade such values for warlike offensives and thoughts of our enemy's destruction?"

...

"I'll do it alone if I have to. I may not have been able to save everybody. But if I can save Wraith, it might..."

...

"I-I-It might..."

...

*sigh* "It might make the pain go away."
