"Oh, there's always hope," she said quickly. And firmly. Because if Ariadne believed anything, it was that. "I guess he just hasn't had the chance to explore that hope."
Because Anakin kept killing people.
She sighed. "I know a bit about worrying about possible futures. But the thing I've kind of figured out" or resigned herself to, "is that it's kind of impossible to figure out possible futures here. Because none of the fixed information we thought we knew is the same. It's like trying to calculate probabilities for a card game where the rules keep changing with every hand. I might be able to calculate the odds of a winning hand in a game with 50 cards. But out of nowhere, a new card will be added, and suddenly your hand is four cards instead of three. Constant entropy. Which is frustrating, I guess."
A pause.
"Or you could look at it as exciting. Meaning you never know when something wonderful is going to happen. You just need to...be open to it, I guess."
