It was the day of Han's funeral and everybody was dreading it. The atmosphere throughout the day was somber and humorless. The usual banter between comrades as they went on various missions was stripped away. It was simply glum.

Everybody was in mourning.

Especially Leia.

Usually she had her strong demeanor holding her up, but now it was a mask to hide her grief for her husband. Raina saw that when she made the announcement, and now she could she see it more on the General's face as she saw her ordering people about.

Even though the woman was up in age, she had gotten more lines on her face as the hours progressed. The grief was far too much for her.

"Leia, let someone help you. You don't look well." The Lieutenant was on her way to talk to her squadron of troops when she saw Leia looking incredibly grim.

Organa shooed Raina away. "No, no Amaryllis. He is my husband. We are going to have his funeral." She wiped her tears as she murmured, "Even if we don't have a body to bury."

"I'll get someone to help you, alright? What do you need right now?"

"More flowers and musicians. Chewbacca being here wouldn't be a bad thing either."

"I'll get them for you," Raina reassured the woman. She tapped on the first person that walked past her. "You. I need you to help the General finish preparing for Han Solo's funeral service." Amaryllis got into the bulky man's face, narrowing her almond eyes. "Can you do that?"

The man saluted to her. "Yes, ma'am."

Raina smiled at him as she walked away. As she went into another part of the base, she saw Chewie walking along the top corridor of the part of the base.

"Chewbacca! Leia needs you at the moment."

The hairy creature nodded and exclaimed, walking down from platform. Raina went along with her business. She saw if everything on the base was taking care of, then she went to see Finn.

When she got to the threshold of the room, she saw the star pilot. It wasn't a surprise to see Poe there looking after his friend. The Lieutenant suspected he went to see Finn when she wasn't around. He was probably fresh out of a mission because he still had his pilot's uniform on.

"Dameron." The Lieutenant had a small smirk on her face as she saw the pilot look as his friend. The man looked at the tall woman for a moment and went back to Finn.

"How is our friend doing?" Raina walked around the bed so she could be directly facing Poe.

Poe never took his eyes off Finn. "He's fine. He just won't wake up. Why won't he wake up, Lieutenant?"

"Everything is going to be just fine, Dameron. Please don't worry."

The olive skinned man chewed his lip as he took his friend's hand. Only for a moment, he made eye contact with the woman in front of him.

"W-why did you offer to look after him anyway?" Raina smiled as she could immediately sense the jealousy in his voice.

"I had to take a look at the brand new addition to our team."

"Hmm..." was all that the pilot responded with.

"Are you going to Han's funeral ceremony?"

Poe's head shot up. "Of course! I wouldn't miss it at all." He looked at Finn. "I only wish he was awake to be there."

"Well, if he wakes up in the next week or so, everything will still be there and he'll be able to pay his respects."

"But, I heard he and Rey were there when Kylo killed him, Lieutenant. He sawHan die."

Raina's thick eyebrows furrowed. "Oh my."

"Yeah."

"Come on, Pilot. Let's get ready. It's only two hours away." Lieutenant Amaryllis patted Poe on the shoulder and almost walked out the door, until she realized that he wasn't following her.

"Poe, come on. He'll wake up. Don't worry." There was a sad friendly change in her tone.

"He'll wake up soon, I promise."

Poe bent down and whispered something to Finn. Raina couldn't hear it but when she asked Poe about it later, all he did was blush.

Raina was in her private quarters getting ready for the ceremony in thirty minutes. She got together her cards that she had written what she was going to say about Han. The Lieutenant chuckled. No matter how many years of existence she had on her belt, speaking in front of a crowd of people was never her forte. Being one of the resident negotiators around the base, no one understood how the great Lieutenant had stage fright, but that was usually two or three people.

The Lieutenant went to the center of the base because she knew time would fly by, and before she knew it, it would be time.

The arrangement that Leia had personally selected really captured Han. In the center of the arrangement was a hologram of Han, but it wasn't just of him. It was a family hologram with Han, Leia, and their son Ben.

Goodness, that child, Raina thought. She had told Han and Leia that she would've taken him as a her apprentice, but Leia wouldn't listen. Leia wanted Raina to stay. The Jedi was too important to lose on the Resistance's side, but Raina could sense a bit of the dark side in Ben.

And then, just like that, they had lost their son. Such a sad thing to see. However, the blue flowers on either side of the hologram were lovely. As Raina got close to the display, she saw a box with the Resistance symbol on it. She stopped and stared at it for a second.

Just then, Chewbacca came up behind her.

"Raghhhhhhhh." He spoke. Raina nodded.

"So, this is his old blaster, huh? The one you guys used when all of you were younger and trying to defeat Darth Vader."

Chewie huffed and nodded, walking off somewhere. Seeing it was 15 minutes until the ceremony began, the Lieutenant sat down and began reciting her speech.

"And, now, we'll have Lieutenant Raina Amaryllis say a few words on behalf of Han." One of the troops said.

Raina got out of the crowd and went up to the display. She fidgeted awkwardly, cards in her hands. She noticed the eyes on her and gulped hard.

And she began.

"Han Solo was a good man." No, no, she thought to herself. "Well, actually, he was an amazing man. Way back when, when Leia was pregnant with their son, I was in charge of this place and just to see Han still go out and go on missions for us just to make sure the galaxy was a better place for his son showed me a softer side of Solo that I had never seen before, and it made me realize how brave and kind and caring he truly was. He wasn't just a simple man; to me he was a hero in his own right. It's sad to see such a huge light in our lives go out so soon, but wherever he is, I hope he's looking down on us right now with a smile on his face and riding along in the heavens. Thank you, everyone."

With a smile, Raina went off the podium and she went to go sit down with everyone else as Leia went to go up and spoke, giving the most tearful eulogy anyone could have given.

Raina walked into Finn's room and sat down, taking her post. His breathing gentle as usual, the beating from the heart monitor confirmed so.

She picked up a book about the flora of a nearby planet and began to read, trying to find a way to occupy her time until something called her attention to do something else.

Soon, the Lieutenant was 30 pages in and an hour had already passed by. She was so engrossed in the book that the mumbling of the body in front of her didn't fully reach her ears until a couple minutes after.

Her pointed ears poked up and took in account of the sound. She lowered her book down and her violet eyes went wide. She slowly got up, her long and deft fingers gingerly placed in the middle of his chest. Raina could feel his heartbeat rise with each breath he took as his eyes opened.

The first thing he saw was the Lieutenant's face and she scared him. He jolted out of his bed, sitting straight up and screaming, "Where's Rey?! Where is she?! I need to see if she's okay!" The Lieutenant's face was unfamiliar to Finn and he didn't like that. He needed to see Rey or Poe to know he was safe.

Raina only shushed him and, gently, tried to push him back down onto his bed. "It's going to be okay, Finn. You're safe. You're at the Resistance base. You're fine." Her voice was a tad bit raspy, but you could still hear the femininity in it. It was gentle enough that Finn calmed down.

"Who are you?" was all he asked.

"Lieutenant Raina Amaryllis. I was looking after you while you were slee-"

"Finn!" Poe had came running when he heard screaming from Finn's room. His mind was bursting with all the things he'd say to him.

"Where's am I? Where's Rey?"

"Hey, hey buddy, it's alright. Rey went to go find Luke Skywalker, man! Can you believe it?! The Lieutenant here has looked after you after that bastard Kylo Ren knocked you out." Poe looked at Raina with kind eyes. "I think the Lieutenant did a fine job here. You look better than you ever did before."

"R-Rey went to find Luke Skywalker?! T-that's unbelievable! That's gre-oh no. I'm feeling lightheaded."

"Okay, okay. Just relax, Finn." Raina still had her hand on his chest, and Finn eyedher curiously.

"Dameron," the Lieutenant spoke. "Let's let Finn rest. Now that he's conscious, we can feed him something warm. How would you like that, hmm?

Finn stammered. "Um, yeah. Yes. I'd like that." He layer his head down on the pillow while trying not to show his blush.

"Poe, you can visit him later after he eats his food. I know you both have lots to talk about, hmm?" Raina winked at the pilot.

"I-I, uh, yeah." He turned to Finn and smiled. "I'll see you in a bit, buddy. Okay?"

Finn smiled weakly. "Okay, Poe. Tell BB-8 I said hello and that he can visit me anytime he wants."

Poe laughed. "You got it."
