Somehow, that’s what breaks the dam this time. That in this moment she’s so certain of what she wants and the entire galaxy has fallen away to mush in front of him. He takes a shaking breath, trying to answer her or walk away before the current sweeps him away, but by the time that thought hits it’s already too late.
His legs buckle under him, his nails blunt and trim scrap against the rock and kick up dust in their wake. He’s on his knees and sobbing.
A near out of body experience, he keeps telling himself he had no reason to cry. That he’s pathetic and he needs to get over it. All of it. He’d caused so much harm. He’d hurt so many people. He’d killed his father— and here he was crying like a child for their mother.
Honestly maybe that’s what’s done it. Hearing Luke, feeling his mother so close— The weight of everything tosses him into discord. Taking away any balance he had left. ]
