[It really is. Everything's complicated, but you know what? Luke doesn't really care. How can he right now? When she's back and here and just as perfect and amazing and lovely as he remembered.

Dream or not, it feels real enough and that's what matters to him right now.

Her words hit close and he ducks, settling in as his heart skips a happy beat in his chest. He'd loved his aunt and uncle dearly, but this? It's different and it's exactly what he'd been craving his entire life.]

Time works really weird here. I got to meet Leia when she was like, nine. Normally we don't meet until we're both my age. Not that either of us knew it at the time.

[Though he'd known Leia was different, special even, he just hadn't been able to pinpoint exactly why.]

There was a you here once, I don't think she was quite prepared for the news she had kids, but she was...still you.

[And still just as amazing.]

No matter how weird or messed up this place might get, it was worth it.

[Aw, his eyes had stopped leaking, but he's getting all choked up again. Oh well!]

I've dreamed about meeting you my entire life. Mom.
