The Razor Crest shook from the turbulence of entering Ithor's atmosphere, a sensation that the Mandalorian had gotten used to long ago. Bounty hunting would often lead Mando to planets within the Outer Rim, but Ithor was not one of them. He had been here before, however, many months ago, before his duties required him to take his leave. It wasn't leaving the planet that had been difficult for the Mandalorian.

just as it was, baby,
before the otherness came
Where was she? Where was the child? Surely they would have heard the ship land. The Mandalorian now stood at the front door, his gloved hand resting on the latch that would open it.
