Got the update out.
Astonishingly, the title, despite being just another line from the same song, is being revealed as kind of apropos to the theme.
“Poe is my son,” Kes said, realizing that nobody had told this boy anything. It was, again, approximately par. “Are you going to tell me how close you and he were, and then go on and not know anything about his life?”
“I can if you like,” Finn said. He looked sort of grim. It didn’t really make him look any older. “Poe is kind of abnormally good at seeming to tell you everything without ever actually giving you any information. It could have stood him in good stead during interrogations, if he’d ever thought to use the skill, but he only seems to use it on people who are trying to care about him.”
It struck Kes then that the leather jacket the boy was wearing was very likely actually the same one that had been Poe’s. Where else would an altruistic Stormtrooper have picked up a vintage Rebellion flight jacket? And right about then he made the last connection, and he said, “Oh. I guess I could be a lot less surprised about that than I am.”
