This is unlike any place she's ever seen. Even with how rattled she is, she can't help but to look around with a small sense of wonder. Every new place she sees makes her feel like this. After seeing nothing but endless desert for so long, new places are always exciting.

But then she hears a laugh. Ben's laugh. That new sound is more interesting than any place she's seen, and she blinks as a small smile graces her face. He laughs now.

He's close. She can feel him now, and she startles a bit when he says her name. It comes from a place close to her, not just through their projection, and she turns off the saber as she slowly pivots to face him.

"Ben." She stares at him, blinking slowly as she takes a step forward. He looks like he did when he came for her on Exegol, softer than she's used to but still so strong. When he tumbled over that cliff's edge, she had thought he was gone, having been too wrapped up in the fight to reach for him like she had wanted.

But he came for her. Instead of clashing together in a rush of anger, they had fought side by side. And now they're here, in this strange, empty place. Together.

"Ben," she says again, this time feeling her eyes well up with tears as her voice trembles. "Are we dead?"
