Rey doesn't mean to take a peek of Obi-Wan's thoughts, but she's so on edge and so curious as to what he's feeling about all of this that she sort of picks up on it without really trying. And he's right. The light and the dark will always exist, no matter what, and there will always be a need for balance.
But the Jedi and the Sith both no longer exist the way Obi-Wan knew them, and that can't be easy to sit with.
Still, he smiles at her and reassures her and Rey feels overcome with affection for him. She knows that she looks for family everywhere she goes, especially when it comes to father figures, but Obi-Wan really does feel like family. He's another on a short but very esteemed list of men that Rey has come to admire, and she's so grateful for him.
"I'm glad." She hugs him again, clutching at him for a moment before pulling back to give him a smile that looks almost shy, and reaches up to put her hair out of her face. "I guess we should get out of the rain. And away from this stupid chair."
