( it's a fair enough point. he inclines his head forward; he won't take that away from her. not even if he could. )

It might come down to hope, in the end. Like in the story of Pandora's box.

( sometimes the only thing left behind is hope, and faith that whatever you learn, it cannot be worse than what you imagine for yourself as having happened, as happening right now, in the blindness of your ignorance. at least for this. at least regarding a friend; regarding the people he loves. )

I'm sorry he's gone. I won't inflict myself on you for any longer, Jyn. I'd wanted to ask about any insight you had into self defense... but I feel that's a conversation better left for another time. Ah, though perhaps? You might send more than texts to Cassian. He tried telling me Kay had been taking care of him the last few days.

( Kay, who had been with Victor on planet, with the rescue runs. )

It's as you said. Being familiar with something doesn't always mean you handle it better. Just that you might know some of how it goes.

( a softer voice, since it's not just about concussions: it's about grief, and loss, and mysteries. it's about how you move forward. about finding a life that's so utterly different from what you used to know. )
