Kylo Ren doesn't cope well with being displaced as he is. Not when the Force around him feels... strange. Not quite as full of life, perhaps dull and muted is the word to use? He doesn't know -- he's gotten the introduction, read the leaflet, listened to the chatter on the beach he'd woken up in a body that felt just ever so slightly off. Like a pair of trousers that once fit but needed to be adjusted for whatever reason.
Now that that disorientation had passed, he picked up the bag of his belongings: a sodden cape, leather gloves, the hilt (which goes on his belt) and the broken pieces of the mask (which he nearly throws back into the ocean upon finding them), and moves throughout the city. For a man so tall, and dressed all in black his attempts at blending in might seem somewhat laughable, as does his not-so-sunny disposition, a scowl that seems almost etched onto his features.
He brushes through the crowd without much of a word or pleasantry to anyone.
And force help anyone who wants to catch his eye.
II. (nightmares)
The way Kylo has always avoided the nightmares and memories that typically plague his sleep? Work and train himself into exhaustion, until his mind is too tired to dream at all. Normally, it works well enough, he can function and behave normally - or as normally as Kylo Ren does. Here, without a purpose or cause to cling to, he feels a bit... lost. And it's simpler to lose track, so he begins to have nightmares. Violent, and vivid. Plunging his lightsaber through his father's heart, the way his uncle had stared down at him, and his only friend -- Tai, being cut down by Ren.
It doesn't only happen during the night, but in the day as well. He pulls himself out of a dream, standing straight where he'd nearly slumped over where he stood to shake the dust out of his mind.
"Don't bother. I don't require any assistance." He says to any single onlooker or one attempting to reach him.

[ Anakin hasn't made any aggressive gestures or even raised his voice. But his ice-blue eyes have turned cold and his voice manages to be both quiet and unforgiving. ]
Are you claiming to be their son, Kylo Ren?
[ It's a question he doesn't need an answer to. The vision he saw is slowly revealing itself as a memory. ]
no subject
That wasn't supposed to come to light. ]
Yes, as a matter of fact I am.
As you claim to be.
no subject
I don't claim to be their son. I am their son.
[ Coldly: ] But you? I don't see how they could've raised someone like you.
no subject
But yes, I am their son. Fascinating that we share parents but never have known of one another. Why could that be...
no subject
I don't have to prove anything to you.
And if what I saw in the vision is true-- you're a son in name only.
no subject
[ Kylo clenches his jaw, lets the silence hang for another beat. They clearly had very different lives. He wants to know more but right now he doesn't trust himself not to react to... whatever he might discover. ]
And I don't owe you any explanation, you've seen the memory. Now be on your way.
no subject
Watch your step here, Kylo Ren.
[ He could elaborate with threats or even a show of force. But he doesn't.
Let him be underestimated. It's often served him well.
Anakin walks away. ]
