Anakin Skywalker. The tragic hero, the Chosen One of the Force. The Jedi Knight who fell into darkness and walked out as the greatest villain in pop culture— no, in all of fictional history, before he awoke back to justice, and his ultimate sacrifice— his final redemption helped save the galaxy. Sure, the prequels made him a whiny, meme-spawning loser. But then that animated series came out, and Anakin was cool again!
And now, he was here! In Spirale! Interrupting Travis’s training amongst the sakura trees, and speaking to his face!
Shit, Anakin Skywalker was speaking to Travis’s face. Travis needed to focus!
After seeing that name pop up on the contacts list, our otaku assassin had been racking his brain for days, filling it with mental preparations for this very moment. “Just don’t be weird,” Travis had told himself. “You were a celebrity back home, you know how over-the-top people got. Just don’t be a Kimmy Howell. Treat Anakin Skywalker like a human being. Don’t be a Kimmy! You can do this!”
Fast-forward to the present.
“SORRY, MASTER SKYWALKER!” Travis yelled, stiffening up like a military cadet ready to salute the Jedi Knight before him. “I got… distracted! Uh, what were you asking me about?”
Dammit.
