( it's something he understands, actually, more than catra realizes, having been sent away so young himself. calling luke's other students family might have been a stretch but it was also something. something that he'd mourned the absence of for a time before snoke had begun to mold him into the shape that would eventually become kylo ren. )

I would never presume, ( casually, because catra's discomfort is telling in its own way, ) Nor would I tell you that it gets easier, because it doesn't.

( it's a whole new world to learn, a way of life to adapt to, and while some might find the prospect exciting, those are generally people who didn't leave much behind them to mourn. )

Still. There is potential here if you allow yourself to see it.
