Aayla was right. Everything she said rang true in his mind. These were the same thoughts he'd mulled over in his mind day after day. Nothing knew to him. But it was good to hear it from someone else. It was good to know that he wasn't the only one feeling as though he'd walked onto a blank slate and was forced to start over.

"I worry that with each passing moment I spend here, the farther I get from what's right. I feel like I'm slipping. As though I'm getting closer and closer to the Dark Side. Or, at least, becoming more vulnerable to it. I just don't feel that I have the strength that I used to. And..."

It makes me wonder if we've been doing things correctly all of these years. But the old ways are so ingrained in my mind and my spirit, I just don't know what it means for me."
