Heroes. Of course. You feel no regret for the heroes who have died under your banner, or the villains who have died under theirs.
And why would you? Dying is what heroes and villains are meant for, isn't it?

How dare we simply live instead.

Everyone who flies with me knows what the risks are. And the stakes. They all know what would happen, if they didn't put their lives on the line.

The Hosnian system illustrated everything pretty damn clearly for everyone.

None of them would have had to die, without you and the rest of the First Order.

So maybe you should have fucking thought of 'simply living' there.

As if the son of Leia Organa, nephew of Luke Skywalker, bright with the promise of the mighty blood running in his veins ever had the option of simply living.

I will seek no forgiveness for becoming a weapon for one side rather than the other in a war I was tied to before I was even born, any more than I will seek your permission to finally exist beyond its reach.

No? You honestly see no fucking difference between the side you chose and the one you ran from?

There are ways to run away from home without murdering a fuck ton of people, Kylo. [Saying the name with all the incredulity that he gave it. As if the word 'Ben' was masked just behind it.]


And now? Are you actually going to simply 'exist' here? That nothing's going to cause you to pick up that lightsaber again?

Is that what you think happened?

[ A pause. A slight tilt of his head. ]

Of course it is. A shame you can't ask them for the truth.
Not that you would see it, even then. How could you?
You need the story you have told yourself. The lies. They hold you together.

Which is why you want to hear me tell you I will never kill again- not because you hope it's true, but so that you can feel vindicated when I break my word and prove you right.

I don't reject what I did or what I am any more than you do. And if you give me reason, I promise you, I will kill anyone who stands against me.
The difference between us is this.

[ He steps forward, his gaze unnervingly steady on Poe's face ]

I am not looking for a reason.
