Canon divergence in which Sifo-Dyas is Obi-Wan’s master for whatever reason, there is a multiple reasons why this would and would not work, this partnership is not stabilizing for either of them, it objectively worsens both their mental states. Obi-wan’s visions that have lessened over the years due to heavy reliance on shields and mental blocks are back full force now. Sifo-Dyas has only gotten more stressed since he has another living creature to look after. Both are suffering from chronic migraines. Their force bond is a feedback loop that causes corruption in Sifo-Dyas already hellish visions as multiple realties are pulling up to the point it makes no sense. Obi-Wan knows more than he would like to about Sifo-Dyas and Dooku’s relationship and falling out.
He’s a courier at 15 years old between grown men over fifty that cannot talk without deflection and mental gymnastics worse than Death Note internal dialogue. He still trains and goes on missions with Qui Gon Jinn, it’s not a mentorship like they would ever traditional have, their bonding coming from the fact their relationship with their mentors is strained as hell. Obi-Wan is somehow the finance manager betwene Dooku and Sifo-Dyas by the time he is a senior padawan and Sifo commissions the clone army. He doesn’t know what the fuck is happening, but also he does because he can’t escape the future. He knows Sifo-Dyas’s life is ending prematurely. He knows Dooku had something to do with it. He is pretty sure his master is as well too, it will likely be ex-Master too soon as he and a black and red figure circle each other. One that has been in his visions countless times, always crawling back and brining death with him. He has seen multiple outcomes for the fight, some good, some better, most are asinine. He wonders if this is how Sifo-Dyas felt about facing his own death in his visions. He wonders if he should let the General or the Hermit take care of the Sith apprentice instead of the Padawan, maybe it slow down the Count’s fall if there isn’t a clear vacancy of a Sith apprentice. The Padawan doubts it honestly, it wouldn’t be the first path that ended up in the apprentices tearing each other to shreds for a Lord who already who has a new aim. The Padawan knows that Maverick wanted to train the Chosen One. It wouldn’t be as bad an outcome really, the Chosen One doesn’t fall as often, but when he does, it consumes and suffocates on a greater scale than most. In the end if it all, neither the Hermit or his Master will have a body for their loved ones to bury anyway.
