(OP) *chinhands* I really like this update - I was really taken with the differences between Ben and the Kylo Ren persona, with Ben's own observations of things even as he acts like Kylo. Also, the brief scene with Anakin was equal parts sweet and heartbreaking - made the hug with Poe sooooo much more adorable (and painful, of course).

And the more you write, the more convinced I am of Impending Doom, and that it's probably going to be coming from a Hux-like direction. *bites nails*
