lookninjas:
She stares at the steps, at the ruins just behind them, and tries to see herself and Ben sitting there, the way they were. When she was five and he was fifteen and their world was on the verge of changing forever, even if neither of them understood. And it shouldn’t be possible, but the longer she looks, the closer she comes to seeing something. To seeing them again, those ghosts of who they used to be. She can’t quite bring herself into focus – just a small shadow draped in fabric, so covered up that she’s almost invisible – but for just a moment, Ben is so clear. He looks at her, at Finn standing with her. Like he sees them. Like he knows that they’re there. And he smiles the exact way he smiled then, like he just got the best news of his life.
Only for a moment, and then he’s gone again.
Rey can barely breathe. Her eyes fill up with tears. It just – he just seemed so real.
(Or: Snoke dies. The world doesn’t end. We keep moving forward.)
