𝐑𝐄𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃𝐍'𝐓 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏, every time she closed her eyes she envisioned it all again. Palpatine, Exogol, The Fallen Death Star, all of it haunted her --- no matter how much she wished to let it go. The base was still bustling, there were remaining First Order cells that needed dismantling. There was also a need to reestablish the government; the war was won but some battles remained. Everything felt so loud, it was all so much. Rey needed to process it all. Feel it all out, under the cover of night she ran into the woods. Saber and staff in hand, she found a place in the woods to try to find some peace. For minutes, she didnt move or speak. Rey just breathed as slowly as she could, only stirring once she felt an all too familiar presence behind her. Her eyes opened, but she did not turn. " Are you here for real ?  Or is this the force ? "

𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐀 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄, 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘 --- but as the war was over now, the resistance now packing up. Those who would track out remaining First Order cells did so under the Republic Banner now, those reestablishing the Republic were on their way to neutral ground to do so. The various rebels, like her that weren't enlisting in the Republic Army, were making plans to head home... and after feeling so safe and confident in her found family on Exogol, Rey now felt lost and unsure of her next steps.

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐎 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 ?  Back to Jakku ?  No. She couldn't go back there. There was nothing there for her now. Ach-To ? She couldn't hide away from herself. These thoughts swirled her mind as the rebels crowded the canteen one last time before they all went their separate ways starting the next day. Was this really going to be goodbye ?  It was hard to feel the joy everyone else seemed to feel when she was scared that her friends next to her, calling out her name in song and trying to coax her to dance, would be exiting her life at dawn.

It was a palpable fear that Rey could physically feel in the air around her ( was that the force ? she couldn't say for certain but something inside her said yes ). It was one she had shared since Crait; and if she was truly honest with herself, one she had felt every night in the cold unforgiving desserts of Jakku.

A motion of contact would have almost always been seen as aggressive on Jakku; but she wasn’t on Jakku anymore. Here, with the resistance, Rey had been showered with more support and affection than she knew how to process fully. It was everything she had ever wanted and heartbreaking all at once.

Waiting to see if she pushed her away before daring to even try giving her a half hug. “ I know, I’m terrified too. Most nights I don’t even sleep because of it, I didn't have a family before this. I’m always scared they wont comeback. But we’re in this together, the force bonds us and connects us in high times and low, so maybe we need to take some time every so often to help each other out when we can. We can’t promise perfection, but maybe we can borrow strength from each other and be stronger for it ? ”

They had escaped Exogol with the Resistance, in that moment everything had felt so triumphant --- but as their ship approached the base, Rey couldn't help but feel those uncertainties grow and become unavoidable now. The ship dropped from Hyperspace, and the pilot turned towards the man ( she had insisted to take steering as he was still recovering from the force transfer that had saved her life ) --- " If I bring you the base with the rest of the fleet, " she began softly, " what’s going to happen ? "
