Bail:So, you leaving the Republic in our hands, I take it?
Vader:Yes. I trust you and the others in the room to lead the galaxy into a better tomorrow. I have no place in deciding our fate, I never did.
Padme:Well, where are you going then?
Vader:Somewhere where I can understand the force better. The Jedi and the Sith are only mere perspectives of the force. And as I've said before, the galaxy is in your hands.
Mon:If that is your choice, then we wish you the best.
Bail:We will do everything we can to make the galaxy a free and just place, much better then those before.
Vader:Good. I wish all of you the best.
Vader said as he left the Alderaan capital, Thrawn and Trevor waiting outside.
Trevor:Is this goodbye, Vader?
Vader:For now.
Thrawn:Well then, let us know if you need help.
Vader:Will do.
Vader said as he shook the hands of his colleagues.

Vader is now seen in his TIE-Fighter flying to the planet he knew he needed to go to. The armored man then sets the ship to autopilot as he takes out and opens an object in the shape of a Kyber crystal, revealing a picture of him and Serra.
Vader:Serra. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't be who I wanted to be. I'm sorry I shattered your dream.
Vader's tears flowed like a waterfall under his mask as he tried his absolute hardest not to cry, leading to a montage of important moments of his life playing out in front of us, seeing how our protagonist has changed from an ambitious but kind little boy who deeply valued everyone he loved, a young man whom wanted nothing more then to save the galaxy and make it a better place, and finally into the emotionless, cold second in command of a tyrannical empire in disguise of a false brave new world. Anakin, or Vader, could've been anything in his life. But sadly, his life was essentially decided for him and he was broken slowly by the continuous loss and despair that has plagued his existence for as long as he could remember. After the memories ended, the man gave some parting words for his deceased beloved, a part of him hoping she was somehow listening to him.
Vader:All I wish for you now, Serra, is that you finally find the happiness that you deserve. Don't worry, we'll be together again soon. I love you, my precious, burning light.
He then put away the object in front of him as he set his course to the planet he was traveling too. Who knows what will happen after he finishes his journey. But, what matters is that he's doing this for himself. Its what Serra would've wanted. After all, she was the person who finally set him free.
