Anakin lets the silence linger. If she wants to talk about it, she will. Or they could just enjoy the park together quietly. He's not exactly surprised when she breaks the silence.

He's quiet for a moment. "That's a really hard position to be in."

Anakin wasn't lying when he said he's not a great conversationalist. But he's listening. It's important that she feels heard.

"I think the part I hate most... is that I hate myself for choosing it," she whispered, bringing her hands up to her mouth, and closing her eyes.

"I know I can go back, but some part of me wonders if I shouldn't have even chosen this, to begin with and I hate myself for thinking that, because there were so many I loved here as well."

But now... the number keeps dwindling more and more. If there is no one left who she loves that deeply...

"I know loss is a part of life, I know I will lose people all the time. But I keep-" her breath suddenly hitches and her eyes burn. "I hate being left behind. I'm not strong enough to just keep going alone."
