*Satine's P.O.V.*
"When are they coming back?"
"I told you, I don't know!"
Everyone was anxious to hear from the Jedi. Because of this, my frustrations ran high until, I merely had no conviction left. With my head resting on the door, I could hear the nervous clicking of Obi-Wan's boots along the tile floor.
Leaving the door closed between us, I asked, "Obi? Are you alright?" The clicking stopped, no reply. "Obi-Wan? Are you there?" I sighed and rested the back of my head on the doorframe when no one replied. All I heard was the shuffling of robes and a whisper.
"Satine?"
"Yes, I'm still here."
A raspy laugh came from behind me and he spoke again, "What are we doing? She was our best friend and yet, we hardly knew her. For all we know, Clove might not be her real name!" He paused and finally said, "And I killed her. Whether or not she was crazy still eludes me. I could done something... I- I could have helped her."
"There's nothing you could have done to stop it. That's the thing with the Jedi..." Obi-Wan didn't respond, seemingly waiting for me to finish. "...and with the galaxy. Detachment makes us all monsters."
"Do you think she planned all of it?"
"I hope not."
"When are they coming back?"
I stood up, my hand still resting on the doorknob. I whispered, "I told you, I don't know."
