coruscant.
the way the dying light danced on the city’s pearlescent spires and shattered into countless colors across a million transparisteel surfaces reminded him of hanna city. the crystalline walkways, the bustle of ignorance, the tantalizing smells of a galaxy’s worth of cuisine.
kylo ren itched to see it gone.
he felt at ease when the beautiful structures gave way to dilapidated slums. it was just a taste of what waited for him deep in the city’s rotting heart. on the surface, the new republic had too much power. it smothered any trace of the first order, scaring its citizens into complacency with the ghost of the fallen empire. despite the struggle, the order found a small foothold in the middling tiers. but the planet’s festering innards? they could use more...
...convincing.
as the transport reached the crate lift that would take kylo down a thousand levels from the surface’s shimmering face, the sith studied the way the force moved around his companion. if she was going to follow him into hostile territory, he wanted to memorize the way life and death pushed and pulled against her. to recognize her without sight would be useful in a fight. or if she betrayed him.
❝ tell me, agent, how familiar are you with coruscant? ❞
