I wasn't crying. I didn't even feel tears coming up anymore. I just felt empty, as I sat there on the floor of an old ship in Jakku, dressed in the ugly grey shirt and pants that the Resistance wore under their uniforms. I don't even know how long I was there. It felt endless while also feeling like no moments had passed.
But I was suddenly snapped out of this trance when I heard someone running in. I already knew it was Rey. I could just... tell.
Her running slowed as she saw me.
"Ben?" She said quietly.
I didn't have it in me to respond. Rey walked next to me and sat down.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
Suddenly, the emptiness that I felt was replaced by a sudden surge of tears. I tried to hold them back, but I just couldn't anymore. I let them pour out of my eyes, and instead of saying anything, Rey just leaned on my shoulder and hugged me until the tears stopped.
"So..." She said, gently pulling her arms off from around me, "What are we going to do?"
"I can't go like this," I said, gesturing to my face. "It's too dangerous to be me right now."
"Once we're on Naboo, we can separate from the rest of the group and calmly decide how to approach this situation, but right now, you need to still look like that blonde radar technician."
I nodded. "I'll get my things," I said, standing up.
"And then," Rey stated, "Off to Naboo."
