Summary
“I was the one who did it, and I don’t sleep so well at night thinking about it.”
“Me neither, I keep—!” Rex sucked in a breath, stopping himself before his voice rose too high. “I keep thinking: what if he might’ve lived...?”
Rik sighed. "I’ve got no choice but to keep it from her.”
“So,” Rex said, hating the air of finality coating his tone, “you’ll live your whole life a lie?”
Perhaps he shouldn’t have been surprised when Rik nodded heavily, but he was. Shocked to his very core.
“A lot of people live that way. Only most of them don’t have good reasons like we do..."Too soon after the hell that was Umbara, Rex's only surviving batchmate admits to mercy-killing a Jedi general, thrusting Rex into a desperate struggle against his conscience—a struggle that threatens to drive a stake between his friendship with Fives and destroy everything he once thought to be right.
(UPDATE: This story is currently being revised as I fix plot holes, add scenes, and tidy up the dialogue style. Chapters 1-15 are now up.)
