21 " I love it!” Nifera Shu said, clearly pleased. “I do believe this is the best gift I have received, Lorell Shda.” She leaned in conspiratorially. “I don’t know how you knew that I trained to be an entomologist as a young woman, but I am impressed. "

22 " Leia had noticed that the young woman had a hunger for war stories, or any stories, really, about the Resistance. She’s invested, Leia observed silently, and looking for connection "
23 " Leia wanted to reassure him that Starkiller Base was destroyed, that he need not fear the demise of his planet simply for rendering the Resistance aid, but she knew she could make no such guarantees. "
24 " She reminded herself that she was still a princess so she damn well better look like one, even now. Especially now. "
25 " The ex-Imperial Suralinda was looking for? Teza Nasz? "
26 " Me, too,” Leia said, less quiet, and moving toward angry. She didn’t like rehashing all she had lost to convince Yendor and Charth that they should do the right thing, the thing Yendor had admitted he owed her. She just needed a safe place to rest, and the time to do it. "
27 " No, this was it, his last stand. He would rather die here with a blaster in his hand and Norra by his side than hope to survive the tender mercies of the First Order. "
28 " If Ryloth showed us anything, it was that nowhere that the Resistance gathers is safe from the First Order. "
29 " The Resistance will let you keep your hair. Have you seen Poe Dameron?” “He does have nice hair,” Wedge agreed. "
30 " This is—” Zay began. “I know who this is,” Leia murmured. “General Rieekan. "
31 " Wedge had pinned her as another guard but it was their neighbor, the one Norra had almost come to blows with over political differences at a community dinner party. "
32 " Silence descended, and Wedge stood for a moment, staring. He’d killed a man. He’d done it before. Many times. It was what soldiers did, and it had been a war. Was still a war. But he’d never killed here, in his idyllic garden among the keedees and the pepper stalks. His throat felt dry and he tried to swallow past the thing, the emotion, stuck there, threatening to choke him. "
33 " We need a place to lay low, and Ryloth needs to be it. We need shelter, food, and communications equipment, a place to park some ships and do repairs… "
34 " My point,” Poe said, turning back to Agoyo, “is that many of us have dubious beginnings, but it is how we end that counts. "
35 " He hurt, inside and out, but the pain was fading. Betrayal. That’s all he could feel now. Not by Monti, or even Yama. It was violence that had lied to him. It had made him promises of power, but in the end, it had not saved him. It had damned him. "
36 " She hesitated, because she thought she knew the answer to the question before she asked it, but ask it she did. “And what about their grandfather?” “Tell them he died directing the cannon. Tell them he died defending a free Ryloth, same as their aunt. "

38 " I have no doubts.” Poe hesitated before he asked, “So the two of you aren’t…” Finn looked puzzled at first, but then his expression shifted to amusement. “No, nothing like that. Just friends.” “And Rose?” “Oh.” Finn shook his head no. “We talked about it, and Crait was…a moment. But that’s it. Friends there, too.” Poe laughed. “I can’t keep up with your ‘just friends,’ man. "
39 " Snap nodded. “I’m just glad you’re okay, Dad.” Something swelled in Wedge’s chest. His heart, he guessed. Dad. “I’m great, son. Just great.” And he meant it. "
40 " We can’t do it alone.” “And we won’t. We’ll find people, we’ll inspire them. Show them they aren’t alone, show them what’s worth fighting for. And we’ll prepare and rebuild. This,” she said, gesturing to take in the room, “is a beginning. "
