By the time Han approached, the lightsaber had deactivated. Though, had he wished, Kylo could have easily reignited it again and cut both of his father's legs off a the knee. He could almost hear a voice in his head ordering him to, and he wasn't sure whether it was his master's or his own.
Tears were streaming down his face as he tried to remember being held, his mother smiling and Chewie rustling his hair the same way... Those thoughts were just tiny fragments between long stretches of lying awake at night frightened of the monster that never seemed to go away or the Wookie's sad attempt at helping him drown out the sound of his parents fighting. The loneliness he felt with Luke was no better. Every time he saw a shooting star over some ancient decaying temple, he felt a morbid sense of camaraderie that maybe someone, somewhere, had just been shot out of the sky and wasn't ever going to see home again either.
Kylo crumpled in on himself, clutching his head in both hands.
"I... I don't know what's real anymore..."
The dark sider's breakdown, fortunately or unfortunately, was interrupted by a comlink. It was Rey. 'Coming out of light-speed. We'll be entering the atmosphere in ten minutes.'
