It pained Rey to see Poe like that. She didn't mean to hurt him, didn't mean to ruin things, but it was on her mind lately. With Finn being Force-Sensitive...he picked up on it. He could tell she was upset, and Poe was left in the dark. She looked away, chewing on her lower lip as she tried to think of the best way to explain why she kept running.
She tried doing that on Ahch-To and that didn't do her any good. Luke gave her the push she needed to go, but...would they think less of her?
She dug her nails into her skin, trying to figure out the words until--
"Would you want to be in a relationship with Palpatine's granddaughter?" the words were utter in a faint whisper, as though she didn't want the walls themselves to hear.
Swallowing her nerves, she looked back up at the two of them, hurt and sadness evident in her brown eyes.
"That's why they wanted me. I'm his bloodline, and if I had killed him, out of grief and anger...I would've become a Sith...and inherited the Final Order's fleet."
And she would have. She would have done it to protect them, and they would have hated her for it...and she doubted they would want anything to do with her after this.
