Rey takes a deep breath and then stands, blinking rain from her eyes as she reaches for his hands to urge him to his feet. As she stands there, holding his hands in the rain, she takes a breath and glances over at the throne, swallowing hard before turning away.
"I feel the same for you," Rey tells him, smiling a little as she reaches up to touch his jaw. Ben has earned her unwavering trust, but she will never stop worrying about the burden he faces. They are the same in that, as well. "And I want us to go home."
