The merging between our packs went by smoothly. There was not much ceremony for it, and I was glad for that.
Having that conversation with Jyn, took my strength away. It made me feel bad for her.
The pain she must be passing through isn't one someone as young as her should pass through.
I felt pity unlike any I've ever felt for someone.
"Are you happy?"
"As happy as I can be in a situation like this." I turn to look at Jyn who has gone back to sit on the rock she was sitting on.
She looked so lost and sad, sitting there with her shoulders hunched like a person with the weight of the world, on their shoulders.
"I hope she returns to her normal self."
"I hope so, too."
There is nothing like the Jyn I've come to love.
She sat on the rock, alone, and not concerned about the celebration that was going on around her.
During the merging ceremony, she was just as receptive as a tree.
