You've reached Poe Dameron. I'm off flying something or trying not to get killed, so go ahead and leave a message and I'll get back to you eventually.

[The half-smothered grin fades completely and disappears.]

Yeah. That's - not great. Not that I think you should be afraid of him, but the man holds a grudge, and isn't afraid to act on it.

Want to - uh - tell me what happened?

[onlydoubts]

Great. [ Here he thought he was done with having to look over his shoulder... ]

[ Sigh. ] I'm living with others now. I guess -- he lives nearby, and we ran into one another. "I see you're not running for your friends to protect you." [ which is said in a painfully inaccurate imitation/mockery of Hux's accent ] He um, he said some things and I just -- he doesn't target the others like he does me. He's attacked me twice now, completely unprovoked. You saw the first time. Maybe he would have today, I dunno, but...

I snapped and hit him.

[Poe runs a hand through his hair.]

Well I mean, he deserves it. And it's not - he targets you because he wishes he could target someone else.

You know how I told you my buddy was an ex-stormtrooper?

Well, that ex-stormtrooper was the key to destroying his greatest weapon. Just like you were the key to destroying the death star.

He's targeting you because he knows that you represent the greatest threat to the First Order - to the Empire. Someone with a conscience, who did was was right, because it was right, without thought for themselves.

You are exactly the kind of person that he's most afraid of. The others? They're like me. Irritants to be blown up or blown out of the sky. You two? You could be anywhere. You could be lurking behind him in every meeting, running his shuttle flights, being on his security detail.

He lost a lot, before coming here, and you shine like a beacon of everything that destroyed his plans.
