❶ After a year at home following the Battle of Jakku, when all the parades and congratulations had subsided, Han found himself at his wits' ends—no action, no excitement, no purpose. No longer an official part of the Republic, he had nothing to do with himself on Hosnian Prime.
Bored with local shipments, he found the action he desired at the gaming tables in the dark cantinas that had sprung up across Republic City in the last two years.
During this year of peace and prosperity, many things changed in Republic City. Restaurants opened, shops selling goods from all over the galaxy sprung up, and entertainment of every sort became available. Whether you were looking for a good time with another being or a good laugh at a theatrical presentation, Republic City had become the premiere spot in the galaxy to find diversions to suit almost all tastes.
Sabacc lounges peppered both the tourist regions as well as the seedier parts of town. The owners of them all knew Han—unfortunately for Han, as his gambling debts had caught up with him.
Leia bounded into their suite while he packed. "Han, where are you going?"
"Um, I have some debts to pay, Leia. Need to make some cash," he said while glancing at her. "Hey, don't look at me that way. I'll be back. I just have a few shipping jobs lined up."
"How much have you lost this time?" Leia asked with her hands on her hips.
"You don't want to know," Han said as he shoved a few things into his duffel. After checking his blaster for a full charge, he said, "And, no, I don't want your money, Leia. Look, I need a break." He grabbed a few more blaster charges and threw them into his bag.
"A break from what? Me? Your son?"
"A break from all of it. Leia, you know it. I'm not cut out for this domestic life. I haven't traveled in hyperspace in over six rotations. It's beginning to affect me."
Leia crossed her arms. "Well, if you're planning on taking the Falcon, it might be even longer."
Han pointed at her. "Hey, Chewie and me fixed the hyperdrive right after Jakku."
❷ She grabbed him by the waist and straightened his lapel. "I hate it when you leave, Han. I need you. Your son needs you."
"You don't need me, Leia. You have your career in the Senate. And as for Ben, he doesn't even know if I'm here or not." Han broke away from her. "Look, I'll be back in a few weeks. I promise." He lifted his pack onto his back and kissed her on the forehead. "Just need to clear my head, earn some credits."
