[He's not usually in the business of laying his entire life bare for everyone to see, regardless of any bonds that may have formed over the years. He knows that, if nothing else, he can trust Rey not to share his secrets with anyone. Whether or not he can trust her not to weaponize them is up in the air, but he respects the young woman enough to venture into this uncharted territory.]
[He can't say that she's making assumptions about what he has and hasn't had to 'fix' in the past, because he hasn't exactly been open with it. That's not her fault.]
I've had to fix plenty of 'problems' because of my compassion before, Rey. Perhaps the biggest one was my own Padawan.
[Qui-Gon's shoulders sag. He's had to relive this memory far too many times within the past few months.]
Xanatos posed an imminent threat on multiple planets and the Jedi Temple before Obi-Wan and I tracked him down and he met his end.
Many people died and I bear that burden of my choices every single day.
