[ it isn't difficult to be led into a situation when the truth is that she has been looking for a reason for this very thing for far too long. it isn't about what happened on the mountainside, but rather the months and months and months she had spent behind tight smiles and lies.
the return of her chaos had been important, had been like moving a broken limb for the first time without pain, but it had only been a fraction. there could be no grand uses of her chaos if she wished to keep her lack of it a secret still. when added to the growing hole that anakin's disappearance left in her chest, it was a dangerous combination.
