"Listen... I don't know if this is ever going to reach you. I hope your old frequency is still functioning... I just have to try. I know you're out there somewhere, fighting your fight. I know for you it never really ended. I think I get it, and I know what other people think about you.

I know you, though. They just know a name on some datapad. That's not who you are.

Remember that time we went to Hosnian? Mom was there to see some relatives and you came along as a guest. There was that son of some friend of Dad's... bratty little porg boy. I punched him in the nose after he tripped me, and after mom yelled at me and sent me to my room, you came up later with a whole plate of these little baked things. You didn't say anything. You just set them down on that end table and sat there until I started bawling like a baby.

I felt like hell. You never judged me. You just put your arm around me and let me cry it out.

There, you said, feel any better?

I didn't, but I was happy you were there. You called me 'little sun' and took me to this shady little diner behind Mom's back and let me order whatever I wanted. She still doesn't know.

That's the Dorn I remember.

They talk about you like you're a monster.

I know they're wrong."

//SILENCE...

"Just... promise me you'll do what you have to do and come home, okay? I don't think I can do this without you."
