He died peacefully, on his own terms.
She felt it as surely as her own heartbeat.
It didn't make it easier.
Didn't lessen the blow.
Only one member of her family still remained.
Ben.
Ben who was bringing all her worst nightmares to life.
Ben who she loved more dearly than anything.
She did not know how to keep living through this.
How to keep letting go.
How to stop her son.
That death would destroy her.
As ruined as Alderaan.
Blown up before her eyes.
Selfishly she hoped to die herself,
before she had to order her son's death.
