He hadn't even really thought about Rey until he had started trying to
solve The Problem. Rey had been there in the back of his head, mostly as
this figment of legend. He owed her way more than she knew, and now she was
off, chasing the Jedi, and if Poe knew anything about the legends of the
Jedi... probably becoming one herself.
If anyone in the galaxy could protect Finn, and protect herself - it was
probably her.
If anyone in the galaxy could care for the thing that meant the most to
him, it was her.
So why did he feel so miserable even trying to think about it?
"You're not going to get rid of me, Finn." He promised, quietly, his
vice-grip still firm on Finn's hand. "... I just..." He trailed off,
sucking in a breath to try to stop his chest from tearing itself open. "...
I'm not the one you should be putting your bets on."
