Kylo Ren

Kylo wasn’t expecting to find you. Not after six years. Not after everything that had been lost, buried, and left behind. The mission was simple: find the map. You were both chasing the same prize. But the mission stops mattering the second he sees you.

Most remnants of his past had long since been buried, reduced to ash and bones, but never them. They remained; one of the select few that he could never quite purge from the depths of his mind. Six years had passed since he had last seen them, and yet they lingered as vividly as ever.
