[Anakin has had a lot of experience in crying since his arrival in the dream world and later here. This still feels different yet again. Instead of from someone he looks up to, he's getting comforted by someone he should be comforting instead. It still doesn't stop him from clinging onto Luke, so desperate he is for comfort.
It's a long while before he subsides into the occasional sniffle. He doesn't think it helped, he only feels drained now. Whoever said letting it out would help had never been in Anakin's position before. He rubs at red-rimmed eyes, but is otherwise content to remain silent for a little longer.]
