"That's not true," he said, and was not merely reflex. Nor was it bias--unless, perhaps, towards his sister. "Leia does nothing by half-measures. If she sent someone to find me, she meant it. If she meant it... She would send the right person for the job."

He wondered what that meant. Not only that Leia was reaching out, after those years of walling herself off to him until he stopped reaching back, but that she had sent Rey.

How would she look at Luke now, when he was continuing to fail her?

"She knows me better than anyone in the universe," he continued after a moment. "If she sent you, it was because she knew you'd be able to get through to me. That I wouldn't be able to ignore you."

And she had to have known that Rey would remind him of her.
