Cradle to Grave

''

34, air

I have no idea where the brilliant idea to switch off the droid came from. Probably from Anakin. As I freefall through the levels of Coruscant, my heart all but giving away in my prematurely aging body, I battle with the droid controls, while holding on for dear life and cursing us both.

Perhaps Anakin decided to obey our mandate and not leave the Senator's side.

Finally, I turn it back on and gravity is thwarted for the moment. The air slaps my face and I grimace in reply.

I have never been so grateful to feel Anakin's presence nearby.
