Souls like yours were meant to fall.
A card she slips into her bodycon dress… somehow. “Be careful what you wish for.”
“I know all too well.” But, unlike Mon, she won’t be allowed to escape with her life. Mel is as much a hostage as she is Senator. “As do you.”
“Mandalore—“ A sigh. “—was too busy fighting its own demons to offer them solace. All of their sacrifices… only to be abandoned.” A hardness in her eyes. “It’s cruel.”
“Clones saved my life during the Clone Wars,” she answers simply. “A small group smuggled me off of Kuat to prevent Separatist forces from kidnapping me—or killing me—using me as ransom against the shipbuilders’ union.”
No one has been a challenge in years. “I know precisely where to look. Even if I do not know his name.” Tsk tsk.
A playful roll of her golden eyes. “If only they didn’t make it so easy. Honestly, the fragility of privileged men’s hearts is laughable.”
A snort, then a chuckle. “Too bad for them. I’m not the chair of the biggest shipyard in the galaxy because I’m pretty.”
A small smile in return. “I suppose not. Turns out the Senate is just like a boardroom full of shareholders: Annoyingly shortsighted and selfish.”

[A small sigh, fingers resting above an eye.] Lost would certainly be accurate. Stars know it feels that way most days now. But rare? Hardly.
And what am I, then, since you seem to have found me?
[A twinge. Like a string plucked at the wrong time.] I see. And what is it that you find?
That sounds like something someone who has tried—and failed—to fix this would say.
you haven't changed. you just think you have.
