hux is kidnapped and held ransom by some hosnian system survivors. they've been watching him for a while. they know he's with kylo. they don't physically torture him, but they don't half fuck with him, telling him ren does not care for him. how it was ren that contracted them to remove him so he could usurp him. they make him send a video message pleading for ren to rescue him. he cries.

weeks pass. slowly, hux starts to believe it. by the time kylo does rescue him, he asks only that he kills him quickly.

[ren is horrified.]
