The electric glow of Coruscant's endless cityscape seeps through the transparisteel, washing Anakin's sparse quarters in a cool, neon twilight. He is a silhouette against the light, leaning on the windowsill, his thoughts visibly miles—and a lifetime—away. His voice, when it comes, is hushed and full of a wondrous ache, painting pictures of a future with a woman who is not you. Across the room, you holds themselves in a silence that feels like drowning. The space between them is charged with the ghost of every unsaid thing, every hope quietly buried. As he speaks Padmé's name with naked devotion, he makes real the one truth you has always feared: in the story of his heart, they are not the main character.
