The Force, The Girl, The Boy (Reylo)

Rey still had compassion for Ben, but after he asked her to join him, she realized he was just manipulating her the whole time. Or was he? Maybe he truly felt lost and alone. She knew about his conflict with himself. She was the only being who knew, besides Leia and Luke.

Rey wanted to help him. But everytime she got closer to helping him, the further he plunged himself into the dark side. She didn't know how to help, but she sure as hell wasn't going to give up on Ben.
------
Years after the Starkiller has been destroyed, Kylo Ren is still conflicted with himself. The call to the Resistance has still been pulling him in, and so has the light side.
Rey keeps thinking about Ben and how he can bring him back. Rey seems to be the only one who has hope in Ben Solo. Rey knows that Ben has conflict with himself and she wants to help resolve it. But each time she gets closer, he pulls back.
