[Vulnerable.

That's a good word for it. More gentle than "weak" or "stupid". Rey struggles with not thinking of compassion as weakness—she can feel in her heart that it isn't, but logically it's difficult to not think of herself as a fool. The idea that Qui-Gon might have the same uncertainties has never occurred to her, but it's... nice, in a way.]


And what do you do? When your vulnerability unleashes a monster on the galaxy? [Her question is phrased openly, like a proverbial "you," but the expression on her face is serious and intent. She's asking what he does with the knowledge he has about the consequences of his compassion. She didn't sit back down for more life lessons and abstract wisdom. Qui-Gon cracked open this door by trying to find common ground, and Rey has no intention of letting the old man shut it again.]
