Insomnia came easily these days, or nights, as it were.
His mind registered voices on the hallway behind his quarter's door. Multiples stormstroopers were having a discussion and by the sounds of it, they didn't seem to be in any hurry to get anywhere else.
Everything was calm on Starkiller Base tonight. Everything was calm, even the war. There had been no attacks from the Resistance for months. It is as if they had disappeared.
Kylo was in his bed, his eyes were glued to the ceiling. Kylo couldn't sleep anymore. He couldn't stop dreaming about a young woman he didn't even know. In his dream, he could see her shadow. In his dream, he could see her shadow. A very particular accent. It was the accent of the educated and the upper class in the Empire. An accent from a family of power, or at least the daughter of someone who grew up using the Coruscant accent.
She was the same woman from his visions.
Who was she? Someone from the past? Someone close to Darth Vader? Someone close to the Emperor? Maybe it was a message from his grandfather? But what was the meaning of these vision, these dream, this woman?
It wasn't the first time he had dreamt about this young woman. It all started when he was 10 years old. He felt a change in the Force at that time. He was dreaming about a new born. At the time, he thought he had dreamed of a potential little brother or sister. But as time went by, his parents didn't announce any such news. As he grew older, so did the baby. He understood much later that he was dreaming of a person, very real, but who was very far from him.
In his dreams or visions, he never saw her face. Not once. And yet, he wanted to see it so badly.
"Who are you?" he whispered.
He closed his eyes, hoping that sleep would come. Hoping to dream about this woman, and to finally see her face. She was the greatest mystery of his life. A mystery he hoped to solve one day. Learning her face, her name, and answering the question of why she haunted his dreams and visions since childhood.
One day he will understand. One day, he will see it. And when that day comes, he will do everything he can to find her in this universe and keep her by his side.
There was a reason for all this. The Force had its reasons.
