The others don't remember, but Rey does. It's the first moment of seeing Ben Solo, naked in a way even as he stands before her in the same First Order issue underclothes that Finn had worn when she met him. Her mouth remembers the twitch of the smile, the disbelief. This time, she isn't dying. This time, he won't slip away from her, a ghost.
Tears well in her eyes as she crosses the island to him, hiking over rock faces to embrace him. Arms around his shoulders, Rey pulls him into an eager, demanding kiss.
This is the change she's been waiting for. The moment when something changes, happens differently than before. This is the moment of departure. The moment that she's sure it worked. ]
