Knowing that Anakin would kill Obi-Wan... felt as though she’d been stabbed through the heart, burning as white hot as the blaster shot that had killed her. Guilt and horror welled up in her chest, as her knees buckled and she collapsed to the sand.

She felt so lost. There were no words. She couldn’t find them. All she could do was kneel there on the sand and mourn.
