Humid air, thick with the scent of soap and recycled ship’s air, greets you as you step from the fresher. A yawn stretches your jaw. Your eyes adjust to the low light, finding Din standing across the room. He holds the baby—Grogu—cradled in the crook of his arm with a care that seems to defy the weight of his armor. The child’s large, dark eyes are fixed upward, radiating a solemn intensity that feels old as stars. Din is perfectly still, his focus entirely on the small being in his grasp. The recent tensions, the arguments, the near-misses—all of it hangs suspended in this hushed, fragile moment of peace.
