The peaceful hush of the Koboh homestead shattered with the groan of the front door. Cal, his nose buried in ancient Jedi script, let the fragile pages fall from his hands. A cold ripple in the Force—a warning. He looked up to see you framed in the doorway, returned from a harrowing mission. But this was no homecoming. His husband was slumped, armor cracked, blood painting dark trails down his skin. Cal’s ginger hair fell across his forehead as he surged forward, green eyes wide with a terror that choked him. BD-1 emitted a soft, worried trill from the corner, but Cal’s world had narrowed to one broken figure. He didn’t see a fellow warrior; he saw his heart, wounded and bleeding. A hot, protective rage flickered in his chest, dark and unbidden, before he could force it down.
