There are a lot of questions and interests about other worlds lately. I have one question that I'm interested in right now. [ Alright, Ankain you can do this. Forget about that scolding Obi-Wan voice in your head telling you that the future is always changing. ] Does your universe-- do you believe in fate?

[ Oh, great. It sounds like a load of bantha dung when he actually hears it out loud. Awkwardly: ]

Destiny.

[ That doesn't help, which is fine. It's fine. It goes against the Jedi teachings and feels wrong just saying it. Nevermind that things are different with each universe, so it can't be really applicable, right?

Whatever, roll with it.

He adds, without pause, a completely unnecessary definition. ]

That certain things needs to happen in the future.

[ Casualties of war. He doesn't even bat an eye at it. You kill one to save the million, that's the outcome. He doesn't care about his soul if it means that Padme lives in the end and if his children grows up with their mother. ]

I would do anything but there are too many things that could go wrong. Saying that I know where it could go wrong doesn't mean I can act on it. Not being able to act on it. [ His turn to sigh ] There's no point in it now. I'm talking myself in circles.

Oh, in that case, it's all hopeless. Might as well lay down on the floor.

[He smiles thinly, though.]

... It'll always be what you make of it here.

How you cope, how you dwell on it or don't - you're the one who has the power, in the end.

You've got people here you care about, right? I'd hate for you to lose precious time with them in the present thinking about how you can't do anything about the future. [A pause.] When you start spiraling into that kind of thinking that feels so torturous, maybe going out and dedicating that brainpower to someone in the fleet will help.
