@reyofsands: “You’re a monster.” w/ Rey
⤷ send “you’re a monster” for my muses reaction / accepting
𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 if he didn’t already think that of himself already. His parents, his mentor, padawans whispering behind his back-- they all thought the same; that he was 𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐒, that he had the potential to go dark side, that he had more darkness than light within him and feared that he would become the new Darth Vader. And look where he was now, co-leader of the 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐑 alongside General Hux and under the order of Surpreme Leader Snoke, right in the heart of the extreme side of dark.
Rey’s words just 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐃 everything he had been told and overheard. It reaffirmed inner feelings over his actions and reaffirmed his belief that he was past the point of redemption. But he had accepted that long ago. It simply reminded him of the 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐇 of the matter; he was a monster and there was no coming back from it. No going home. No one left to save his tortured soul.
Fixing Rey with an intense gaze, he leant in 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐑, voice lowering, speaking slow and clear so there was no 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 his words. Wouldn’t want her to get her hopes up, would he?
