It's only natural if he asks. Unfortunately, Rey won't be able to answer it with any certainty, and she won't be able to provide any real answers, only more questions.

She burns with guilt, though, that she hadn't disclosed any of this well before now. But if he'd known ... would he have even allowed her onboard to begin with? Would they have ended up where they are?

... Was he thinking of leaving her on Jakku after the job was done?

Rey feels a wave of panic begin to build, and needs a moment to calm herself, lest anything else unexpectedly occur to cut through the already shattered peace of late travel.

But once he's taken her hand and offered her a sense of stability and steadiness, she manages to shake her head gently, still searching for breath. "A - always while I've been asleep. Always during a nightmare. Always the one where I'm - I'm ... left behind."
