The entire journey from Mandalore to Coruscant I spent in restless meditation. These practices were meant to help me focus on detachment and aid me in overcoming dilemmas; yet every single time I closed my eyes, I relived the moment - the moment when Satine died in my arms. I remember watching the light leave her emerald-like eyes and then the feeling of emptiness that followed.

Despite my grief, I filed the report explaining the happenings that occurred on Mandalore - and the chaos that it was now in. The pacifist Mandalore, that Satine had worked so hard to build, was crumbling. To be truthful, the planet died with her Duchess.

Sleep was non-existent that night; I was constantly tossing and turning, the scene playing out over and over in my head. Even when sleep claimed me, nightmares followed swiftly.

And now I find myself standing on my balcony, overlooking the concrete forest known as Coruscant. I sink to the ground, entering a meditative pose even though I know that meditation is no longer an option. My mind is focused on Satine and her death. Why? Why did she have to die? Wasn't there something I could have done to prevent this turnabout? Maybe if I had killed Maul rightly all those years ago. No. This wasn't the way to think. Satine wouldn't approve. I am not a vengeful person, naturally, hence me being a Jedi. Although Satine called me 'violent' a lot, I'm not a violent person. I do, on occasion, fight. To protect myself and others also.

But was there anything more I could've done? Surely there must be someway I could have saved her? But no, she is dead. It's too late. Too late to feel the warmth of our sweet embrace. Too late to feel her fingers intwined with mine. Too late to see her expression when I tell her of my feelings towards her. Too late to feel the heat of passion when we share our first kiss. Too late to speak of a possible future together. Too late to feel whole, with her by my side.

"Satine..." Her name escaped my lips as tears streaked down my cheeks, blending with the rain that had begun to fall.

My heart is broken, as it forever will be. I know that there will never be another Satine in my life. Ever. Even in death she still has my whole heart.

By now I was sobbing, hands clasped over my mouth to stifle the sound. "Satine..." The words left my mouth in the form of a choked sob. My heart was aching for her, the feeling of just wanting to be with her for a few moments more - at least have time to say goodbye. After all these years, my heart was finally breaking free from its bonds. And now I finally understood, I loved her.

I brought my knees up to my chest and held them there, my whole body ached for her; to feel her touch once more.

"Master?" A voice sounded behind me. It was Anakin. I could feel him presence within the force.

I didn't bother wiping away my tears - I'm sure he would understand.

"Did you love her?" I felt his hand on my shoulder, somewhat of a reassurance.

"Sorry?" I sniffled, turning around to face him.

"Satine. Did you love her?" I was quite taken aback actually but I was used to this, Anakin always was the inquisitive type.

I stood up and smiled at him weakly. "Anakin as a Jedi, I'm not supposed to form attachments." I then began walking towards the door but something inside me made me stop in my tracks, it was a feeling I hadn't experienced before yet it was a strong sensation. Love. "But yes, I did." And I would continue to. Forever and always.
