Kylo’s emotions towards the vision of Rey’s parents
So I watched the hand-touching scene again and I’ve come to realize something. When they touched hands, Rey saw a glimpse of Kylo’s future and Kylo saw Rey’s parents, who they were and her past.
Kylo saw that her parents were “nobody”. We know that was the truth. How Kylo knew it? Because Rey knew it. In TLJ novelization, she keeps hearing “Stay here. I’ll come back for you, sweetheart, I promise.”, she assumes it was one of her parents saying that, for her entire life. But then she realizes that it’s just her voice. That she made it up, like a self-defense mechanism. This is from TLJ Junior novelization, right after the wakes up and takes the legacy lightsaber, leaves Kylo in the throne room:
Now, back to the handholding hand-touching scene. Just look at him.
He’s seeing the truth about her parents. He is not pleased about it: Rey lied to herself. She was all alone, he saw her misery. He saw that she already knew the truth but she was too afraid to admit it. Her family, they were not coming back. Like Maz told Rey in TFA.
So yeah…
