I want to figure out what the future holds for us — and people like us — with you.

Her image of the future is still too vague, too hazy of a concept, to consider whether that entails a new Jedi Temple. He has only just returned to her, after all; she hasn't had the requisite time to reflect on it, to embellish it with details, beyond rebuilding a collapsing Jedi Order. Creating something new, something different, and learning from the past's mistakes.
What she does know, with absolute certainty, is that she wants to share it with him. Wants to figure it out with him, whatever that means for them. That future feels within reach, now that she is no longer carrying this burden alone. ]
