Way after he first showed up, Rey was freaking out about him. She thought he wanted to change the timeline so that the Empire won. And she wanted information to use against him.
[ it's at this point that 20/20 hindsight hits him like a blaster straight through his head. thrawn said that rey and kylo ren would use the information against him. not rey.
rey
and
kylo ren.
he found out. he found out what poe found out several weeks later and then was in denial about for several weeks more. he didn't see it at first, but now he does. thrawn figured out their dl relationship. or … whatever it was. that's why rey was so intense about taking him down. about having information to use against him. not because he wanted to change the timeline. it was because thrawn had dirt on her (and kylo bag of dicks ren.)
damn.
that doesn't change the telling of the story, but it does color his perception of it in retrospect. ]
So I told her something. I told her something he told me in confidence. But then I felt bad about it. It didn't feel right. So I told him I told her. [ he exhales a little sigh thinking of that series of events. that sure was a good way to make everyone hate him. memories. ]
He told me never to talk to him again, so it's not — it wasn't like that. Rey figured out I went back to him, and she was furious. Even more furious than normal, 'cause of the thing. This was when everything happened. She got mad at me for trying to protect him. She was yelling at me about taking his side, being manipulated by him, all this stuff. Force threw me, there was a lightsaber ... You were there for that. Other you.
[ his mouth slants sideways thinking about it. he still doesn't think he was wrong about thrawn and he'll meet anyone in the pit who tries to fight him on it. even rey. back on down into the pit. ]
But it wasn't like that. I wasn't taking anybody's side. I wanted to do what was right to me. Sure wasn't making friends either way doing it. But sometimes you have to make choices like that, where's it's not anybody's side, you know? It's just you.
