I probably shouldn't have gone after Rey like that. [She's upset and she knows it.

[The responsibility she's taken on with the Displaced, even if she refuses to think of them as hers.]
Everything I've done since I've came back has been for our people. [Desperate, searching. Trying to be a better person, one who's deserving of her people, and who gives them better lives. Couldn't she do that?]
