It seemed as though everything Rey said just dug up old wounds for Luke, and she hated it. She'd come here for knowledge, but she hadn't counted on the fact that uncovering all of that knowledge would end up hurting someone she'd come to care so much about in such a small amount of time.
She looked down as Luke explained who Ben had been named after, frowning softly in thought. So Kylo Ren hadn't been a Jedi Master himself, but he'd been named for one. Did he know that? Did he know the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi? And if he did, did meeting Rey make him determined to act as a sort of dark foil for his namesake?
"... he'd been the first person to tell me who I really was." The words were soft, hesitant, as though she hadn't really pieced that together until now and was afraid of threading it all together incorrectly. "Kylo Ren. I hadn't known I could use the Force until he literally forced me to use it. He could have killed me — should have killed me, if I really do have as much power as you say — but instead he walked away. And when we fought, he told me that I needed a teacher. He offered—...."
Feeling a shiver go down her spine, she wondered what would have happened if she would have accepted his offer in her desperate need to learn more about herself. Even during these visions, he'd never attacked her, never belittled her; if anything, he seemed as though he was simply insisting that she was on the wrong side.
Peering up at Luke, Rey swallowed before asking, "Is that what this is about? Is he trying to turn me into some mirror version of the next Luke Skywalker?" Because that would mean that he not only wanted Luke, but he wanted Rey as well; she could protect Luke if she needed to, but protecting herself might be another matter altogether.
