CLUB 33 (REGROUPING)

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well...it seems like Club 33 is still open, and the transporters are working again. You're able to gather up your friends from elsewhere and bring them back here to regroup. You also notice that there's a very large pile of stone here in the middle of the Club that doesn't...seem to resemble anything. Sculpture is weird.

What do you guys want to do?]

I should've been stronger! I could've pulled him back! I could've grabbed him sooner, or- or tackled him away, but...

[His voice cracks, and he can't look her in the eye.]

I didn't. I let him down again.

[hasit]

You didn't.

[Her voice is firm, now, but gentle; she doesn't look away from him even if he won't meet her eye.]

You did what you could. I wasn't there, I didn't see, but from what others have told me...You shouldn't be blaming yourself. None of them do.

[stanbyme]

...He's not their brother.

[hasit]

I lost my brother too, you know. He used the last of his life force holding off my son long enough that we could escape his attacks. And then he was gone.

[She ducks now, to meet his eyes.]

My brother died for me, too, Stanley.

[stanbyme]

He shouldn't have had to!

[...Sorry, Leia, it's not. Gonna be that easy.]

Bill shouldn't have even come back, he should have been dead!

He should have- he should have taken me instead...

[hasit]

[Leia inhales sharply, a gasp of air, and then her expression turns stern.]

Stanley, no. You're all I have left.
