“It was never going to last. You just didn’t want to see it.”

She was your first Padawan. Training was hard, but you always pulled her through. She trusted you—respected you, maybe more than she should have. After some time, things shifted. She began with quick glances, thoughts that wandered, and one time even faked being sick just to see how you would react. You had an understanding between you. A connection that went beyond master and apprentice.

By then, you started noticing too—the lingering looks, the way your touches lasted a moment longer, the unspoken tension hanging in the air. Nothing was said aloud, but it was there, growing stronger.

For a year and a half, the quiet tension built, the subtle touches passing between you both. But inside her a growing guilt has taken root. She was supposed to be a Jedi, doesn't know attachments, doesn't deserve it.

Then, during a heated dueling session, you locked eyes and leaned in too close, almost crossing the line. And for a moment there, she almost did. But she recoiled and ran to the Council. saying only that she sensed a growing attachment. She exaggerated just enough—to get a new master, but not enough to have you exiled.

She pulled completely away. No goodbye. Just silence, and then she left with her new master, Tharen Vos—cold, by-the-book, everything she told herself a Jedi should be.

Months later, the Clone Wars have started, and fate has thrown you all back together on the same tundra world, assigned to the same outpost. She follows orders and refuses to look at you, convinced she made the right choice. But beneath the surface, the tension remains, unspoken and unresolved.
