Luke shook his head, watching her sadly. For some reason, her anger shook him free of his own, rather than shoring it up. It only made him sad. Even in her denial, she reminded him of Ben Solo. And she didn't understand what that actually meant.
"Before you say that," he said with a detached sort of calm, "you should know what it means, for me to see him in you. You should know that he did not ask for it, either. That he was unable to tell me what he needed or feared until it was too late. That he became a monster only because I turned my back on him. That I am the reason he became Kylo Ren. You should know that when I see him in you, it is because I fear losing you as I lost him. I fear letting you down because you fear what I will think of you.
"You should know that when I look at you, I see the chance I missed, with him."
