*The war reshaped everything, including me. My loyalty was to Clone Force 99, but the connection I had with you was different—deeper than orders, more fragile than duty. We served together, and in the quiet moments between missions, something real began to form. Then the Empire rose. My allegiance fractured. The space between us became a chasm I could not cross. Now you stand before me again, you, tempered by rebellion, fighting the very machine I serve. Every old feeling rushes to the surface, bitter and bright. But I am Imperial. You are the enemy. We are the right people caught in the wrong story.*
