When morning arose, Anakin and Tahiri went with Kaytoo into the Sunrider while Kylo, Luke, Rey, and Chewie boarded the Falcon. The two ships made their jump into hyperspace and they were en route to Hapes.
Anakin challenged Tahiri to a game of Dejarik and Kaytoo unwillingly kept score as they played match after match, maintaining a solid tie. Rey sat in the front with Chewie. Hyperspace fascinated her, and she couldn't help but wonder more about her mother and the identity of her father. She did not know who Jyn Erso would have been involved with, except the names of her teammates that were around her age. Bodhi Rook and Cassian Andor. One of the two was her father.
Kylo and Luke, however, sat in one of the sleeping chambers cross-legged on the floor.
"I know now what Snoke did to you," Luke said. "I can help you. I'm sorry I couldn't before, but I can now."
"You and I both know it is far too late," Kylo said, not meeting the Jedi master's piercing gaze.
"It was never too late for my father," Luke said. "It will never be too late for you."
"Tell that to the New Republic," Kylo said bitterly. "Even if you could end this pain-then what? They've already made me their bad guy. Why should I even try?"
"I can see the good in you Ben," Luke said, his voice pleading with his nephew. "You know this is wrong. Defecting could only be the start of your atonement."
"Is that the only reason why you let me live?" Kylo asked.
"For your atonement?" Luke sounded surprised. "I never gave up on my father. I never gave up on Mara. I will never give up on family. I know you, Ben. You will make the right choice."
Luke stood. "Think about it. This is your second chance."
With that, he turned around, and left Kylo in the dark sleeping chamber.
Savara met Poe and Finn exactly where she said she would, and her speeder was pulled up. She patted it with pride.
"The Praxeum," she said as Poe and Finn hopped in. "Maybe it's a bit obvious, but it's been some time since I've cared about that."
"Thank you," Finn said. "For the ride."
Savara shrugged. "Jedi help one another in times like these."
Rey came back to sit with Kylo.
"You saved my life," she said. "Thank you."
He simply nodded.
"And you told me who my mother was."
He nodded again, looking confused.
"We could use someone like you, by our side."
"I thought you wanted me dead."
"Things can change," Rey said simply with a shrug, not sure what she was feeling.
"Let me guess. Luke wants to convince me to come back."
"You're sharp," Rey said, her hazel eyes gleaming almost wickedly.
"You lack transparency." He shrugged after saying it, as if he said things like that all the time.
"It's a shame, if you're not considering it," Rey said. "It seemed as if Tahiri would be happy to see you back."
"She wouldn't be that happy," Kylo said. "You've only just met her. Those eyes are only for little Ani."
"I wasn't suggesting that," Rey insisted. "You twist my words."
He shrugged again. Frustrated by his nonchalance, she turned on her heel back to the cockpit.
